Yikes! Good think homes are cheaper there.

It’s getting more expensive. ~150k 7 years ago can be $275k -$325k now.

Yea, my home in about 8 years has gone up over 110K in value.

Depends on where you live. For example, I wouldn’t call Austin cheap

Makes up for the no state income tax.

I’m currently better off with property tax because I was conservative with what I bought relative to salary.

Tokolosh

1/22/20 10:19am

This is one reason why I think property taxes could be preferable to income tax

1/22/20 10:57am

It was about equal when I last calculated to compare

Assessed

Tokolosh

What is the relation of assessed value to actual value?

Archaea

1/22/20 7:32pm

I’m at 90% but we bought 2 1/2 years ago.

Tokolosh

1/22/20 7:34pm

Wow. Nevada's is about 40% IIRC.

Archaea

1/22/20 7:38pm

Longtime owners may be closer to that since appreciation has outstripped the cap on tax increases.

Tokolosh

1/22/20 7:46pm

Ouch.

Archaea

It’s based on value of house and then education taxes primarily

A lot. About 2.5-3% of your appraised value. Basically, about the same as your P&I.

1/22/20 10:20am

depends on the city you live in and the school district you are living in

Mine are somewhere around $6000 per year

buffgato

Run anywhere from about $450 to $1,000 per MONTH for pretty typical homes.

StarMan

1/22/20 10:36am

If you're paying $1,000/month, you're living in a nice home.

endy

I paid just under $450/mo this last year in 4br/3ba home.

endy

1/22/20 10:48am
