Property taxes are generally lower here than in NJ where they are pretty steep. They're also locked so once you buy, you get to push the cost of the police/etc to the new comers to your neighborhood.

Seriously depressed with what is available in the valley. Any suggestions on where to look for a fixer upper or is the whole valley totally berserk? Also, what are the property taxes in the valley? Looking at MLS and it gives the price but no tax estimate . . . so no idea how much to tack on to the monthly mortgage. By the way. Great site Todd. Thanks -Peter Hi all,

Living in NJ and about to get a job offer from a company in Sunnyvale.

Seriously depressed with what is available in the valley.

Any suggestions on where to look for a fixer upper or is the whole valley totally berserk?

Also, what are the property taxes in the valley? Looking at MLS and it gives the price but no tax estimate . . . so no idea how much to tack on to the monthly mortgage.

By the way. Great site Todd.

Thanks
-Peter
