Disclaimer, I am not a tax lawyer.

But, you can write off that part of the Mello Roos taxes that goes towards paying interest in the bond and NOT that part that is used to maintain infrastructure. It depends on the district, but for some all the money goes towards the bonds so all of it can be written off.

Rustico. I have not changed my mind. I have not been down there to tour any houses since my last trip and do not plan to tour houses until the Spring.

However, I am certainly still collecting data on the market down there to further arm myself with information. My agent is doing the same.

We are tracking every house we have toured and even a few we have not toured. A few of those may be of interest if they are still on the market in the Spring. Those are ones we put on a list of “priority” tracking and include the one that is the subject of this post. Due to the price increase, that house is off our “priority” list, but we still plan to track it. We are being more diligent about tracking homes on that list, so want it to be manageble.

ocrenter, the home was bought in late 2005 for just under the new asking price (above the previous asking price).

I have no idea if the buyer was a flipper.

I agree with Rustico, which is why my examples were based on seller mentality and not of their agents.

I note that I have previously posted examples where it was the selling agent that was off base.

Recall my example of the selling agent who added $200k to the asking price to cover built in electronics, but only after I indicated interest in the house, only to see me walk. Later he sold the house for $300k less than asking.

Recall those examples of selling agents who discouraged me from writing offers.

And I also encountered some agents in Santaluz that must think this is a huge seller’s market with all the mutilple offers they are getting. Funny, that was months ago and those houses are still for sale.

But, by and large, it is the sellers who are the problem. Since I may be a seller soon, I hope to be part of the problem. 🙂

Ah, heck, I will just rent it out.
