Anyone who knows anything about wild fire danger in the foothills of Southern California would run away from the foolishness of tree and shrub growth so close to a stick built home!
Taxes notwithstanding, this is one of the better selections of homes you have recently offered. Roomy with good acreage, attractive interiors.
Can I afford any of them, heavens no, but they are all appealing.

The less than 1% property taxes explains why California schools are in such sad shape. Naturally affluent areas do better than poor areas, but even the affluent areas cannot afford to pay their teachers a wage that enables them to live in the school district they work.

@James: So, let's change Prop 13.

@James you know it will be reassessed on sale, to slightly over 1%. But honestly, most of the country collects far less than 15k from a single homeowner, so it's not the amount of property taxes collected that is hurting schools. Nor is the 9.3% (and higher) marginal state tax rate.
$1.7M in Tennessee? you should be able to buy the damn town!

Not only that JA, but the property taxes on the Tennessee house astound me. Tennessee has one of the LOWEST property taxes rates statewise in the nation so this house is way out of line. It will be reflected in the eventual selling price.

It would be nice to have more contrast on the style of homes for sale
Two frumpy homes straight out of the 70’s are not very interesting
