Those houses cost about 650 ounces of gold back then (45 years ago on Parkwood Lane), and you'd pay about 650 ounces of gold for a new house in Leucadia today.
The only thing that changes is the steady dollar devaluation against both gold and houses.
When you did your calculations to show that a house is the same as gold, you probably should have added to the house price the positive side benefits you get from owning a beach house in Leucadia (the constant stream of chicks you get + the effective free rent).
Goes to show that prices don't change much.
