January 2025 Newsletter

Dear Neighbor: Not to beat it to death, but real estate prices were flat for most of 2024.  As you know, there was a big run-up in prices during Covid, the reasons for which I have discussed previously.  By all odds, there should have been a post-Covid price correction; but if there was, it was barely measurable.  One reason was the number of people who re-financed when interest rates were under 3% and don’t want to sell their house and give...Continue Reading!

July 2024 Newsletter

Dear Neighbor: I was bombarded with phone calls after my May newsletter, on the subject of Proposition 19 and property re-assessment upon death of a parent.  As the bill was originally passed and implemented, it required that, upon death of the parent, ALL heirs move into the inherited house to avoid a reassessment at market value which, as you can imagine, would trigger a massive increase in property taxes.  Well, it appears that Sacramento was also bombarded with complaints about that...Continue Reading!
