Tax assessment has lagged market value here in Richmond, Va area. Houses typically sell for about 20% above tax assessment. The market is still very strong here, but perhaps slowing a bit.



As mentioned previously, real estate appraisals are pretty meaningless. You'll find that most properties appraise right at or slightly higher than the deal price. What a coincidence.

you people think your taxes are bad!



thankfully I got my house at a good time, even if the market softens I am still way ahead of the game.

housing here is INSANE



your typical rancher on 1 acre is selling in the 500-600's



my 'rents bought their last place at 730,000 and sold it for 1.85M 5 years later!



the new house is even crazier...


pretty much the same increase for my rents here. bought for 185k, can sell right now for about 500k-525k. it would probably take awhile to sell though.



we are moving to southern illinois soon, and i can afford a house out there. super cheap real estate!!!

I want to move to that trailer city around Aspen. I hear you can get a "starter" trailer for about 1.2 mil.
