Participant[quote=lizzers]I applied for the tax reassessment last fall and was dissappointed in the amount. I have a condo in Eastlake that was originally assessed at 365000 and the tax assessor only reduced the property to 329000. The paperwork I provided as “evidence” showed three comparable properties selling for 279-290K…or should I say not selling! Now there are units selling for close to 200K. Does anyone know if you can reapply for the tax reassessment once one has been granted?[/quote]
Yes, you can. It’s not as simple (I think you have to appear in person), but just call Greg Smith’s office and ask. They are pretty nice there, considering how overwhelmed they must be.Participant[quote=lizzers]I applied for the tax reassessment last fall and was dissappointed in the amount.

Sold it in 1996 for $50K more than we paid. We were in hog heaven about that and when I hear about the last downturn being in the early, mid-90s, I am puzzled. I don’t remember anything about that in the mainstream media (not surprising, I guess). Internet was really not available to the masses at that point.
Rented a really nice place (apt.) for 11 years, but what really bugged us was property mgmt found an excuse to come into our apt. at least twice a month (check smoke detectors, change the A/C filter–like we couldn’t do that simple thing ourselves). I’m really big on privacy issues. We weren’t operating a meth lab, growing marijuana, etc. Middle class, middle age.

ParticipantWow. FLU that was a helluva analysis. Thanks for taking the time to post it.
I have a question about the “generations.” I know the birth years of the Baby Boom (1946-1964) and of the Millenials (1982-1994)…but the Gen X years are less clear to me. Anyone know? And is there a generation between the Gen Xers and the Millenials? I was born smack in the middle of the Baby Boom, FLU, and most of my co-horts were too young to have given birth to Gen Xers. All of the parents I know who are in their 50s (like we are) have Millenial kids (also called Echo Boomers). Our kids are in college or just starting their careers. There are, I believe, about 77 million Baby Boomers and 70 million Millenials…so you Gen Xers have got that going for you (in terms of your getting your Social Security and Medicare)!
Back on topic…I talked to a friend today about our own reassessment and she stunned me by saying that the house she and hubby bought at the absolute peak for somewhere north of $650K got reassessed last week to $400K!
