Count your blessings—the median where I live is $800,000.00.

Believe me, I do count my blessings. We bought the house about 20 years ago for $170K, 2400 SF. Most of the appreciation has occurred within the last five years, as evidenced by the taxable value being far behind Zillow. State law allows a max of 10% increase in taxable value per year.

It's a really nice area to live in, schools are good, diverse community...good people. Our local Catholic church has grown from 1000 families to 8000 families, other faiths have shown similar growth.

The only saving grace to the congestion is a 25 acre open field across the street from us. The minute I see construction starting, we put the house on the market.

Multiple bids are placed the first day a house goes on the market here.

My price is simple: Zillow plus 10%. If no one wants to buy, no problem...I can wait.
