Houses in urban and suburban areas all over the country have increased from 50% to 200%, in some cases adding $250,000 worth of value on a 100,000 dollar house.
So how much has your house increased in value, and what city do you live in/near?

The value of your property is related to the strength of the economy. Believe it of not the President doesn't have economy controls under his desk in the oval office. The economy is better characterized as a rodeo bull and the president is the rider. Maybe he can stay on for his 8 seconds and maybe he gets thrown. The President's economic policies are the barrels and clowns that distract the bull long enough for the rider to get out of the arena alive. So, the Bush Administration has very little control over what your house is worth.

I live in So. California. I bought my house for $250,000.00 in 2000. It has tripled in value in the past 6 or 7 years. It is worth about $760,000 now. I still have 30 years till I can retire and I can't wait, because I'm gonna sell it and move to the mountains in Utah or a house on the lake somewhere other than California and spend my good old days there.

Unless you can show a specific bill passed that correlates, I fail to see the relevance. You might as well blame Bush for Katrina...
I don't own a house, as I tend to move frequently. In the Southeastern coastal community I reside in, $100,000 homes are now selling for $140,000-180,000 (4 years later).

My house went up over 100% but it has very little to do with Bush. Low rates - due to the recession helped the market and it was mostly speculation and extremely low rates which pumped the market.

Quite a lot, but it is on the backs of the illegal immigration pyramid game that ultimately is funded by our already underfunded social services like eduction and social security.
I'd rather have sustainable growth and not lose my social security benefits because people poorer than I came into the country illegally, became legalized, brought in indigent parents, and 'needed my benefits more'.

My home has decreased about 10-15% in value. It was going up but now it is on a steady decline in value.

In Atlanta not that much and it seems to be heading south now. (No pun intended)
