Mortgage payment is going up...stupid escrow account shortage

[FBD]

bs, how do they screw that up...

...unless your local gub just decides to retroactively up rates or something...(I had that happen in the housing bubble when my shit shot up through the roof)

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Something went up, it's all itemized on my newest statement. I didn't read thru the entire thing last night, too tired. I'm guessing it was the property taxes went up.

prob...my town waited until it looked like values were at their peak then did a tax reassessment....then watched as everything tanked for 3 years, then did another reassessment revising it downward about 10% of what they jacked it up as if to say see, we're fair

I hate this "Please hold while we assist other people" horseshit. Hire more malnourished Indians and pick up the fucking phone.

Mine went down.. I think it was because of the lowered taxable value with the bubble pop..

Housing values have been on the rise here...according to both Zillow and Redfin, my house is way up in value over what it was when I bought it 18 months ago.

Zillow is not very good at assessing value, but if you email a title company and ask for a property profile (they are free) you can see what comparable houses to yours have recently sold for and get a clearer idea of the value of your house.

A property profile? Of my house?

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Yeah, you can just email a title company with your address and a request for a property profile. It will tell you everything there is to know about your property along with recent sales of similar houses. Thats how real estate agents determine what you can list your house for.

The value of your house going up shouldn't affect your taxes yet. Unless the county auditor has done an assessment. Here that only happens every 3? years.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Actually, the taxes went down from last year I'll have to look at my statement and see why my escrow is going to be short

And as you can see, the taxes change here every year, here's the last several years of property taxes paid on my property.

Ours are rebounding too.. But the tax assessment values only get updated every few years..

I need an extra job. A buddy is selling his bad ass bay boat for an awesome price. Still out of my comfort zone though.
