They've certainly rebounded hereabouts (northern Nevada), and more. I don't really keep track - bought my place about 20 years ago, and have no intention of moving - but the place next door is on the market for about 3X what I paid.

As for interest, set that off against all the rent you didn't pay. These days, the average rental for a 1-bedroom apartment around here is well over my mortgage payment.
