My house is worth how much?


If ever there was a clip that illustrated the absurdity of the housing bubble, it is this one here.

In this clip, we have a woman who bought a house for around $750,000, and needs some cash to renovate it. Along comes the home appraiser and tells her that after two years of ownership, the house is now worth $1.3 million. Furthermore, if she does a couple of quick and cheap repairs, the house's value increases to $1.6 million.

At no point is this appraisal tested against the market. No, this appraisal is about a home equity loan. The whole thing is pure fantasy.

i wonder how much is tax and insurance. Let's see tax alone is $18,850. Waterfront home. No SOH for new buyer, your house is worth $500,000.
