Important to know if you are a homeowner in California!

I think we need to let people know what’s happening so they don’t get blindsided when they go to the polls.

PROP 13 PROPOSED REPEAL!

Major property tax increases are on the launch pad as California politicians try to repeal prop 13 by slipping it under the radar.

California’s Attorney General, Xavier Becerra is putting together plans to raise property tax revenue by eliminating the only thing keeping some people’s property tax from sky rocketing, Prop 13.

Because they know it will be unpopular if presented as “Repeal Prop 13,” Xavier Becerra has strategically relabeled it “Education and Local Government Funding.”

It’s already on the 2020 ballot and much like the gasoline tax, it will be worded in a way that misleads California voters.

One of the long term results will also be higher rents to pay due to the increase in property taxes.

People are leaving the state in record numbers, and many here are barely hanging on, this could be something that changes the face of California forever.

All my California friends and family, please copy and repost as this must be defeated.

Do You Know How Much Your Home Has Increased in Value?

Last year we saw headlines about a possible housing market bubble, and many wondered if Americans still felt confident about the value of their homes. Recently, the 2018 Houzz & Home Study revealed:

“Homeowners with mortgages have seen their home equity more than double since 2011, increasing to a record-setting $8.3 trillion in 2017.”

The average homeowner gained $16,200 in home equity between Q2 2017 and Q2 2018 according to the latest release of CoreLogic’s Home Equity Report.

Since 2011 home values have increased significantly throughout the country, with prices rising by 5.1% in 2018 alone. When surveyed, homeowners revealed the top four reasons why they felt their homes had increased in value.

Desirable Location
Improved National Economy
Improved Local Economy
Low Home Inventory in My Area

As we can see, not only does the data show that the homes have appreciated, but homeowners also believe they know why. Many have taken advantage of the opportunity to use their newly found equity to sell their current house and move up to their dream home!

2019 will be a good year for the homeowners that still want to take advantage of their home equity! CoreLogic forecasts that home prices will increase by 4.8% by the end of the year.
