In another thread there was some discussion about the high property tax costs found in NY State. I'd like to second that notion. Last October my wife and I vacationed in Salem NY, about seventy miles due north of Albany. Very nice area and we were surprised by the low (compared to where we live on Cape Cod) land prices. We seriously considered buying a nice piece of property, until we heard of the property taxes we'd have to pay for a home there. Truly remarkable how shortsighted the political structure is in that state. How do they expect their economy to be vibrant if they tax the people to death.
As an aside, two years ago I spoke to a woman from Suffolk County NY. Don't know what kind of home she's in, but her deceased husband was a NYC firefighter (9/11). She told me she was paying $18,000 a year. I've got a buddy in Nassau County NY. He has a condo facing the Atlantic Ocean and is also paying $18,000 a year.
Oh boy....
