    I’m not entirely unsympathetic since property values have skyrocketed ridiculously mostly due to the super rich and hedge funds buying up housing like it’s candy.

    However, these people got an assessment for doing some renovations without replacing the walls or a major overhaul of the property, then promptly added a whole second floor to the building when they said they were just replacing the roof. They gambled that the assessors wouldn’t take note and lost.

      yeah, and the guy was professionally working in the real estate space… feels like they are in the “find out” stage.

        What the hell did they even need a house that size for? They look like empty nesters, which means they don’t need that size of a house. They want that size of a house. Since it’s an investment at this point, and they had that monster reassessed at a ridiculous price, they’re better off just selling it and moving somewhere cheap. Well, cheaper.
