Interesting angle on the property tax issue for seniors.Also, for those interested, the counties currently accepting Proposition 90 are Alameda, San Diego, Santa Clara, Los Angeles, Orange, San Mateo and Ventura.
More details here …

http://assessor.lacounty.gov/extranet/guides/prop6090.aspxParticipantWhen we were first-time buyers in SD 1996, we did not have a maintenance fund (nor 5K allocated thereto), nor did we spend 10K on moving expenses and furnishings. We borrowed some friends and their pick-ups to do the moving. Net cost: about $30 in pizza and Beer.
My point is that you should ignore those two items, because (rightly or wrongly) the typical first-time buyer will ignore these as well.

ParticipantIs it better to be dumb, rich and happy? Or intellectual, poor and miserable?
I don’t know about you, but I’d rather be happy than miserable. If the other things must go along with, so be it.

ParticipantYou can apply for a review of assessment to the County.
Here is the brief explanation and form :

However, if/when the value returns to or greater than the amount allowed by Prop 13 (the original basis + 2% per year), they can adjust the taxes back up. I first heard about people complaining about getting re-adjusted back to the original basis in about 2000.

ParticipantSince I am “stupid” and a “friggin’ idiot” according to latesummer2008, I suppose my guess is worthless, but here goes.
May will be more of the same.

ParticipantI found the site relatively devoid of information.
Also, I found the following comment in the last paragraph of the “worst may be over” article …
Housing Predictor expects the Federal Reserve Board of Governors to reduce interest rates by the end of 2007 in an attempt to control increasing inflationary pressures …
So, this site thinks that the Fed will reduce rates in an attempt to control inflationary pressures, and I’m supposed to believe their predictions. Yeah Riiiight 😉
