Bought at the top of the market?
Issues Beyond Palo Alto, posted by Carol Blitzer, PAW asst. editor, a resident of the University South neighborhood, on Aug 22, 2007 at 4:23 pm

Have any of you been able to lower your taxes after buying at the top of the market? One can apply to the County Assessor for a tax adjustment, but it's temporary. How complicated is it? Is it worth it, in the long run?

We'd like to include a story on what the repercussions are, in our Fall Real Estate Special Section.

Please e-mail cblitzer@paweekly.com.

Where in Palo Alto have prices gone down?

A house in Charleston Gardens just sold this weekend for $200,000 over the asking price. I don't think anyones property values have gone down yet.
