Scooby Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I used the zillow thingy. It showed my house, the 2007 tax appraisal, the square footage and # of bedrooms and baths I have, (it was wrong, but so is the county's info). It also showed a pretty sharp satellite image of my house. I could tell it was taken in the late fall because of the number of leaves in my pool. so it is, I thought you couldn't get mkt values for TX houses, like on Coldwell Banker, etc...anyway, I did see mine w/ current gregg county #'s, 1/2 bath less, though, but no satellite image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) I don't have the time right now to go looking for my short-sale thread from a few months ago, but I think we're in basically the worst possible situation, as far as home values go. Bought our house in April 2004 for $308K. Refinanced two years later, and the appraisal came through at $385K. We currently have our house on the market, listed at a whopping $129K... We're smack dab in the middle of the worst part of the country for this decline. Just got an offer for $120K, and we're proposing it to our lender as a short-sale. They can either take the offer, or we'll be forced to foreclose. Either way, it sucks big-time. Edited February 25, 2009 by Gopher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big John Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I just got me house reassessed. That value just fell by 32%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffraff Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Compared to a few that sold around me, mine is down about 10% since the housing fall. The size of the plot (not large, but above average for city living) and proximity to water has saved the value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Judging by local prices for similar properties, mine is down around 15% from it's peak. I don't care though since I'm here for the next seven years. Edit: And I have about $140k equity in it through not using it as a piggy bank.

SEC=UGA Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Got lucky, mine should sell for about what I have in it. Neighbors house, pretty much same as mine, sold for 13K more than the old neighbor paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cre8tiff Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 My house is still worth $85 K more than I owe on it. Bought in 2002. Sweat equity is a great thing. Of course it has lost value from it's inflated top value...but that never seemed real to us anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
