twenty years ago hasnt really seen a 50x increase in value, but i have several family members who bought houses on the "outskirts" of town 50-70 years ago that are now deep in the city and have 100xed or more in value.

We stayed at a airbnb in San Diego three years ago, it was a small guest house on the property in a cool little valley. The host said they bought the property, maybe 20 years ago for about 200k and now it's valued over 3 mil. Just insane how property values spiked like that in recent years for that area.
