THE HOUSE where Ariel Castro allegedly held three women captive for a decade before their release on Monday is listed on the Trulia real estate website with an estimated value of $77,000 – more than double the house's worth a year ago. A 2012 valuation put it at $36,100 and that was with an intact front door.

2207 Seymour Avenue, where Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight were kept sometimes bound by ropes and chains, is described as a Colonial-style 'single family home' located in the Tremont district of Cleveland, Ohio. According to the site, the average list price for similar homes is $125,717.
