I thought it was a joke when the first person came to my door. I've heard of it happening in your area, but the Soo has had the same population for like 50 years, so you don't expect it. I think I could get 400k now after paying 220 for my house. That might not sound like a ton, but 400k would get you a five bedroom house and 30 acre lot on Lake Superior waterfront a few years ago.
