How high is too high? If real estate taxes in your market were 2-3% of market value, would that keep a lid on real estate prices, sales, or market demand? Are real estate prices in your market area being affected by high real estate taxes?

But, how much of the improved affordabillity has been offset by higher real estate taxes? If this is not an issue now in your market area, it will likely be soon! (4 comments)
