(Until it doesn’t)
From CoreLogic:
Homeowner Equity Insights – Q1 2024
CoreLogic analysis shows U.S. homeowners with mortgages (roughly 62% of all properties*) have seen their equity increase by a total of $1.5 trillion since the first quarter of 2023, a gain of 9.6% year over year.
In the first quarter of 2024, the total number of mortgaged residential properties with negative equity decreased by 2.1% from the fourth quarter of 2023, representing 1 million homes, or 1.8% of all mortgaged properties. On a year-over-year basis, negative equity declined by 16.1% from 1.2 million homes, or 2.1% of all mortgaged properties, from the first quarter of 2023.
Because home equity is affected by home price changes, borrowers with equity positions near (+/- 5%) the negative equity cutoff are most likely to move out of or into negative equity as prices change, respectively. Looking at the first quarter of 2024 book of mortgages, if home prices increase by 5%, 110.000 homes would regain equity; if home prices decline by 5% 153,000 would fall underwater. The CoreLogic HPI Forecast TM projects that home prices will increase by 3.7% from March 2024 to March 2025.
U.S. homeowners with a mortgage continued to see healthy annual equity gains in the opening quarter of 2024. As one of the nation’s most expensive states with perpetually high housing demand, California homeowners saw the largest equity gain in the country at $64,000, with those in the Los Angeles metro area netting $72,000 year over year. Most of the other large equity gains were concentrated in the Northeast, including New Jersey ($59,000), a state that has ranked in the top three for annual appreciation in CoreLogic’s monthly Home Price Insights report since last fall.

$59k in new wealth that needs taxin’
My house is up really an insane amount.
They reval every year too so taxes have gone up as well.
Revaluation doesn’t necessarily mean taxes increase. Revaluation is all about keeping all property owners paying their “fair” percentage of the overall property tax burden. It is said that after a revaluation one third of homeowners taxes go up, one third go down and one third remain unchanged.
SmallGov,
According to Newsweek 1.3% of all mass shootings since 2009 have been committed by transgender or nonbinary people.
Based on the low statistical probability of this group commiting a mass shooting, do you apologize for the stupidity of what you wrote in the last thread or are you just happy to be a hateful moron?

Everyone needs a bogeyman. Politics is just easier when you have lots of enemies.

Fair implies everyone is taxed at the same rate. Nothing can be further from the truth.

Nuclear winter isn’t good for the economy either. But at least the Democrats can claim they ended global warming.

Shocking display of anti-Semitism on Monday night in NYC, at a memorial for the people massacred at the music festival in Israel. It’s not just silly uninformed/ ignorant kids, it’s pure anti -Semitism.
Juice,
In whichever town in NJ you live in, all property owners pay the same tax rate. Is this a discussion of what a revaluations real purpose is? I corrected a false statement you made regarding revaluations and tax increases. Changing the subject doesn’t make your statement any less false. I purposely put the word FAIR in quotes to avoid people going where you went.

3b,
The protestors denied the event which the memorial was for ever took place. Just like Holocaust deniers. One would hope that the general public would be horrified by this type of display and be more sympathetic to what happened to Israel on October 7th.
The General public can’t find Israel on a map.
Essex Fells house: Why do these people think they can maintain massive buildings with too much wasted space after the paydays cease? If I had stupid money, I still wouldn’t build or buy this kind of monstrosity. Ridiculous.
Old – It needs to be torn down, you don’t agree??? Same house as mine on same street pays quite a bit more or even quite a bit less. $1000 more or $1000 even less. It’s hardly fair. I don’t have time to pull tax records but nearly all of the homes are the same and the taxes vary by thousands of dollars a year.
Equity gains: Every so often I look at my house estimate on Zillow and Trulia and shake my head. With the work I’ve done here in the last few years, I wonder if that figure is on par or if someone offers a blowout bid. But, where to go? A quad down in Whiting, NJ? I’d rather live in a box in Alphabet City. I’m not going anywhere; price gain be damned.
Whether there is a correlation to mass shootings or not the doping of kids and the s3x change industry should be investigated. It’s predatory and the trail is victims is miles long.
When we were kids many of us there was a thing called Tom boys and it was healthy. Now leftist predators are telling the same kids they are trapped in the wrong body and to start self mutilating.
“And, the property is a short drive away from nearby cultural hubs like Montclair and Clifton.”
Clifton?
When we lived in the area we used to go to a church run thrift store in Essex Fells. We could get great kids clothes cheaper than new clothes at kohls. Would also score great stuff to flip on eBay for 10-50 times what I paid for it.
Sigh…you make me defend him.

8:54 it’s a fairly small population you are fixated upon.
Simple solution would be to admit that it is none of your business.
Juice,
There are differences between the properties in your neighborhood, you just aren’t paying attention to those details. The appraiser who inspects those homes is paying attention to all of them. And if the appraiser is wrong, there is always the right to appeal.
8:56 you’d bend over for the fat, fetid fuck.

We have a house guest for the summer. We were asked to cat sit. I thought that meant getting the mail, opening and closing blinds, turning on sinks and flushing toilets a few times a week, making sure ac and fridge are running , and feeding and taking care of the cat. Nope. The cat is now living in our guest suite. He’s scared and is hiding under the bed. Our cats are curious and one keeps trying to break in. I had to put childproof latches on the door to keep him out. Don’t want a nasty cat fight breaking out. A few days after he stops hiding under the bed we will start letting him explore the house while our cats are napping. Maybe in a few weeks they will be able to hang out, but for now need to keep them separated so they can adjust.
When the president and the dominant political party adopts a child predator position it becomes my business.
Old: Yes, they did, and others tried to justify it. They also vandalized homes of Jewish board members, and marked their houses with upside down red triangles used by Hamas to identify targets. Where is the outrage in the media? None. It’s shocking but it is anti Semitism period.
The general public isn’t horrified because it’s being ignored and downplayed as fringe.

Revenge of Lunden Roberts…..mother of Joe Biden’s shunned granddaughter Navy Jones Roberts.
“The tell-all memoir of Lunden Roberts’s tumultuous relationship with Hunter Biden.He was sitting there wearing nothing but parrot boxer briefs, organizing his pipes on his Rosemont Seneca desk. I was sitting in Barack Obama’s actual chair from the Senate floor. I took another look at Hunter – this kind, intense, and startlingly transparent man – and thought, “this is definitely a guy I want to get to know better.” That was the first time Lunden Roberts met Hunter Biden. She had moved to DC from Arkansas in an impulsive decision to apply for a grad program. Hunter radiated the “live-for-the-moment” energy she sought. What followed from that first meeting was a wild journey that would come to define Lunden’s young life in ways she never could have anticipated. Out of the Shadows chronicles that rollercoaster ride of a relationship, touching on the drug cook working in Rosemont Seneca’s kitchen, strip clubs where Hunter might try the pole himself, protecting him from would-be terrorists in New York City, the night she grabbed two guns and was certain she would have to fatally shoot a crazed MMA fighter, and dozens of other stories that make the laptop debacle seem routine. Lunden is finally ready to step into the light and tell her story. In her brave and honest memoir, she recounts the chaos, the broken trust, and ultimately the incredible love she found mothering and protecting the long-unacknowledged grandchild of the sitting President of the United States. ”

Hate is out in the open now! Thank Donald Trump and the Republican Party for normalizing hate. Look at the hate the Trumpers in here spew on a daily basis.
Old: Perhaps, but now we have it on the left as well, which always claimed the moral high ground. In other words the left is just as capable of hatred and bigotry as the right, just depends on the group.
3b,
It is a stark reminder that the extremes are close together, not far apart. Trouble is that currently about 70% of the Republican base is now extremist. With the Democrats it is still a fringe group. A fringe group and growing.
The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to limit access to a widely used abortion medication, rejecting a challenge from antiabortion doctors.
What is an antiabortion doctor? No doctor should ever pick or choose a side to the point where their client feels uncomfortable making their own personal choice.
Isn’t that what freedom is all about?
“I read your missives on providing support to your kids and extended family and its confusing.”
Only confusing because you continue to take what I state generally as my beliefs and specifically in any statement and run them through your own pre-defined political prism distorting them into what you believe I should be.
“Wants to double major in Religious Studies and Women’s Studies as he is on the edge to come out of the closet. Still writing the check?”

“I keep hearing about buying your kid a car. For me that’s a family decision. For my kids I have cars available. I pay gas, insurance etc.”
Ditto, and agree. Three cars among four adults. That is why I personally viewed having their own as a ‘privilege’ and therefore something to which they would need to contribute.
“I don’t need to police my kids with car use, they are good kids.”
Never have as well. Never had geolocate on any of their phones either. Too intrusive. I know people who geolocate their college kids and text them in the early am depending on location, couldn’t imagine doing so, but as we seem to agree these are personal family matters and decisions.
“The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to limit access to a widely used abortion medication…”
Don’t forget to mention the decision was unanimous….damn those steel-fisted, narrow minded conservative justices!

Trump.
The man who somehow drove three casinos into bankruptcy, wants to end the FED.
The man who embodied the culture of New York City, is somehow embraced by the party of the red states.
The man with the penchant for mail-order brides, who grabs them by the pussy and has more divorces than testicles, has been embraced by the Catholics and Evangelicals.
And you don’t think you are being duped???

Is this one of the Trumpers you are talking about Old realtor, because Lib is one of the biggest haters on this board. Plus he does it just about daily. We get that , he is a pure Democrat no matter what bull he gives you. Of course he is OK with Biden selling our country down the river for his family gains. Anybody figure out why the Bidens have 24 bank accounts??? Sounds more like the cartels.
Biden and his family have more dignity in their pinky toes than Trump, his grifting minions and his retarded followers possess in their entire bodies.
I have close to 20 bank accounts. Believe it or not, I am not laundering money.
And Jim. Where am I showing any hate? Those three statements about Trump are undeniable facts. So where is the hate?
And I am a centrist. Just can’t stand MAGA and their populism and rallying behind the greatest hater of all. The constantly lying bully who makes kindergarten nicknames for every person who does not kiss his ring. Sure the election was stolen. Duped again.
The Dems are corrupt. MAGA is just plumb stupid. Donald Trump. Hero of the stupid. Sad you don’t see it. But it kind of proves it.
Neither party really runs the country anyway. If you have any desire to understand what has happened over the past 50 years in the United States watch both interviews with Mike Benz by Russell Brand and Tucker Carlson.
In some ways I kind of wish I hadn’t watch either.

I think both major candidates are unworthy of the presidency. My only question is whether RFK is a tolerable alternative. Any opinions here?
I’m pretty sure most people who will vote for trump know he’s a sleaze bag. One of the hallmarks of tds seems to be an inability to get over that.
Hence the compulsion to defend the Bidens. Lots of bank accounts might be common but close to $20m in foreign income while he was VP with no product or service for sale is a bit harder to explain.
The Ukraine War is the US fighting a proxy war with Russia to control Ukraine’s natural gas, oil, titanium and…something plentiful in the Donbass…lithium.

Trump does not embody the culture of NYC. He was always a sideshow joke. The culture of NYC is hard work, brutal honesty, demand for success, and ultimately, superior results, but from absolute substance. It’s a brutal meat grinder. Only the clowns of society are the ones skipping around the fancy addresses. The real work is done by people without a suntan in July. Trump knows nothing of this ethos.

I would love for a non-establishment uniter to run. It really could be anyone, but they would need to be both an eloquent speaker and not from the political class. I really believe we can all get along just fine. Even the gays and the hicks. All this blue state/red state hate is manufactured by the parties. Everything is a wedge issue now, when what we all really want is sensical policy. It’s funny. Neither party has the money to process immigrants (hire some judges). But if Israel or the Ukraine needs another 100 billion, no problem. It’s obvious the Democrats are running a gravy train and it’s obvious Trump is grifting like noone has ever grifted before and has found the perfect audience who will both believe his bullshit and applaud his bullying. I don’t think it would be hard to convince MAGA that we can rip the whole thing down (which we all agree upon and would simply require term limits and the end of lobbyists and massive campaign reform). We don’t need to pick on gays and reduce women to second-class citizens to make this happen. We also don’t need anyone to secede. That’s just more hatred. But is sure sounds good don’t it? If you like civil war, perhaps. Seriously, compromise needs to rule the day. We have to stop with all of this patriot, deep state, stolen election and media misinformation on both sides. We all need to depoliticize judges. We are an amazing country and we truly breed entrepreneurship here and if you are willing to work hard, you can still go from penniless to wealthy in one generation. But the same freedoms that drive economic opportunity also breed corruption. The corruption can only be stopped if the voters vote it out or protest it. Instead, we have become completely ignorant it. There was once a time not too long ago that politicians would resign if they were found guilty of improprieties. Today the politicians embrace their crimes and us voters cheer for them. This is where it all begins, really.
Lib: You could stay home on Election Day and not vote. The Republican should not chosen again Trump to run for President. There were alternatives. And, the same with Democrats choosing Biden, because supposedly he was the only Democrat who would be able to beat Trump. That should shock Americans, but I guess it does not.
Lib: As for Gays and hicks getting along, you might want to go to a country music concert; it’s not what you might expect. People from all races, ethnicities, and walks of life, including Gays and Hicks. And, not a confederate flag in sight.
I probably will vote for NOTA, but in NJ the general really doesn’t matter when it comes to the POTUS. A state that could keep reelecting known criminal Menendez to the Senate is pretty pathetic in itself.
I still think Biden wins and I’ll take corruption over MAGA any day of the week, but truly wish someone would run who does not buy into the bullshit on either side. There has to be a smart person out there to start a movement.
3B,
I know. I kid. I’m probably more hick than city slicker anyway. And I listen to country, but not a big fan of this novelty country music that has been riding up the charts for most of this decade. Give me my Brooks & Dunn, Dixie Chicks and even early Taylor Swift back.
Lib: Not a fan of the pretty boy country music either. I like a lot of the old stuff, the outlaw country it used to be called. Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristoffersen. Also, George Straitt. That said Luke Coombs and Chris Stapleton are excellent, and they ain’t pretty boys.
As for a unifier candidate running I don’t see it, but hopefully, at some point we may get there. I think the best message the American people can send on Election Day, is none of the above, and that requires staying home.

I’m not quite sure what you are talking about with RFK. Maybe delve out and go for raw interviews because if you are going from clips from the left wing media, you aren’t getting a clear picture. IMO, RFK > Biden on every issue.
