"Ok, make an offer on my home. I live in NJ and property taxes are over 10k on my 1/2 acre piece of property with a 3200 sqf house on it. "

Yeah, all house and little property!

I'm not ridiculing you ... we're looking to upgrade. The property taxes in Raritan TWSP are atrocious 3.21. Over 10K is NOT unusual.

There's no telling what Corzine will do with property taxes. I know where we live they are looking to adjust ALL property taxes to their proper "market value". That's scary - "market value" is VERY subjective. Where we live this will be done bu August.

We've narrowed our preferences down to a few good areas. We look closely at the current property tax rate. It's becoming ridiculous in New Jersey. They get you either way - land or building assessment - it's just that some areas are worse than others.

I'm in East Brunswick. The schools are good, churches and temples are in waslking distance and it is one stop to the city by bus.

However, I am not too thrilled with Corzine and I have a feeling that it is going to get worse and quick. I already have the house up for sale and am putting a contingency down in San Antonio.
