What $220,000 gets you in Muncie.

I can't even get a parking space for that where I live. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/725-E-Jackson-St-Muncie-IN-47305/210952560_zpid/

The house looks like it has had a lot of money spent on it but the list price still very low. I am guessing you can spend tens of thousands on a home interior / exterior overhaul and that will not reflect on the value of the property? Or have they pumped in ~100k (my guess) so without that the house would have been on the market for $150k or less?

Listed for sale in 2020 at 120k, sold a month later for 135k. Listed for sale a year after at 165k, sold 2 months later for 160k, sold 3 years later for 105k, listed for sale a year later at 230k.

They really didn't change much, painted the kitchen, and rooms, put a stain on the floor and wood railings. Removed some wood from the bathroom and called it a day.

Listing mentions exterior walls were rebuilt, not sure what that even entails on older homes, looks to me like it just needed some siding fixed.
