Adjust housing prices for inflation

Start with the inflation rate formula:

CPI in 1995 / CPI in 2025 * 2025 USD value = 1995 USD value

Then plug in historical CPI values from above. The CPI for Housing was 345.325 in the year 2025 and 148.454 in 1995:

148.454 / 345.325 * $100,000 = $42,989.54

Therefore, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, $100,000 in 2025 has the same "purchasing power" as $42,989.54 in 1995 (in the CPI category of Housing).
