Down $700 here (homesteaded, too). Should help with the high insurance premium.
I once added them all up and compared it to other states which have state income tax. Florida come out pretty well if you count that in, and why not - it's all fixed, real cost of living wherever you are.
just got my first tax bill on the inherited house $17+k. ouch. they've got it appraised at $950k. nearly identical house on identical lot three houses down sold for $1.35 just after the turndown. i don't see us getting $950k today. not even a low ball offer in 6 months. currently petitioning county to re-appraise us at $750 but i'd settle for $850 to at least knock off $2k from taxes.
once i dump that house and then eventually mine i think i will never own real estate again.
