What does the original purchase price have to do with today's selling price. The only "fairly" true way to evaluate a used home is to find recent comps and even that is hard as the lot prices vary soooo much depending on the village and the features the lot has. Then there is landscaping added, possibly an enclosed lanai, or pavers, or carpet replaced with hardwoods or tile, so on and so on but the original purchase price has absolutely nothing to do with a homes current value.
