I agree with Renee, Melanie and Bill because people should practice safety anyway, regardless of where they are. I'm curious to find out who told you those scary stories about burglaries and shootings though - not the same Canyon Country I know.

Definitely get stats about the area. Also, I'd like to add that I have friends who have been living several years now on Hummingbird Circle and so I asked them and they don't know anything about what you are describing.

Anyway, it sounds like you're already moving there regardless of what the true story is, so that takes us back to safety practices.

Good luck and if you have any real estate or mortgage needs, you can give me a call or email me.

Leslie,
We're basically neighbors - you're off of Mammoth Lane, yes?

Beau,
Did you find a house yet? We'd love to hear about it. Is it "Congratulations!" time? - Wed Oct 15 2008, 21:22

Property taxes are based on the appraised value and has nothing to do with sales price or listing price.

Your property tax due is composed of several parts, the part that is the Genral Tax Levy is limited to a maximum of 1% of the assessed value of your property and can be no more than 2% greater than the previous year's tax bill.

Hi Noel,
Yes, that property is not listed as of this posting. You have to know what RealtyTrac is all about. They post properties that are in default and RealtyTrac's main purpose is to get either 1) Realtors to subscribe to their services because with this kind of information, they believe that Realtors can contact the owners and convince them to sell, or 2) investors could subscribe to RealtyTrac and get a hold of the contact information so they can see if they could have a deal with the owners of properties who have defaulted before they are foreclosed on. They also get information on those that are already in foreclosure for the same purpose. And the price that they put in there is the loan balance. I needed to mention this because I get a lot of inquiries from people regarding properties from RealtyTrac - they think it's already for sale at the price that they have in there.

Call or email me if you need to talk about this any further or if you need have any other real estate needs including mortgage and loan as I work closely with a Loan Consultant.
