Yeah I think some people when buying don’t factor those things in. Your mortgage isn’t exactly fixed which is why a low rate is important. People going to be stretching their money to live in a house at 7% then their value goes up and they paying an extra $100 etc a month and it adds up. Shits foul, not to mention we had to replace the fence around the entire back yard and it costs almost 10 grand. All the maintenance . Also pipes are next. Oakland houses are old.Yup my taxes went up too. Had to pay a lil extra in escrow.
My homeboy taxes in Raleigh went up a lot too.
We was just talking about this the other day.
