Right? Of course!
From what I gather, though, these homes have been purchased by a certain type of people over the past 10 or 15 years or so, really when DTK and the surrounding area started to turn things around. I grew up not far from where Google is, and that area wasn't always, how do you say, prime real estate? So now the new owners have likely spent a tonne of money fixing up their homes, likely gutting the insides and other work, and probably don't care too much about home value, as they likely have no intention on moving, unless it's to their grave.
Though it doesn't change the fact that some of these homes have likely doubled in value, easily, because of Google.
