Sue me, I'm lazy. In GA you can dispute the assessed value...it's kind of a PITA but worth it.. You might be able to do this in CA as well - worth looking into. Also: this is RUTHLESS.

We bought our house in 2002 for $250,000. In 2004 value went up to $375,000. Now it's back down to $250,000. Everyone else who bought in our neighborhood after us is bemoaning the loss of the value of their home. We're just back where we started, and I'm okay with that. Easy come, easy go.

I'm upside-down in mine, although the loss wasn't as great. Just happy to have a house I love and a mortgage payment I can afford. Although, as you've learned, there certainly is strong evidence to suggest that such ventures (such as purchasing a home) can really put a kink in following God's plans. Renters FTW! :) Welcome to the club, bro. I'm upside-down in mine, although the loss wasn't as great. Just happy to have a house I love and a mortgage payment I can afford.

To think it's now worth half is totally mind boggling. But then, we watched a doco on Detroit, and I think $200K would get you 50% of the city right now, wouldn't it?

This is common sense. Stuff doesn't make us who we are. So why does it always seem like such a battle to continually keep this in the front of our minds? Right, because this is life and common sense doesn't always make so much sense. Good for you for laughing! Sometimes that's the best response we can have. Here's the funny thing for me – I know this.

You've got the right attitude about it for sure... C'est la vie! Just wondering though if you are always able to look at it that positive or if it depends on the day. We've had some big ouches with our houses and finances and most days we laugh about it, but some days it just hits me really hard. That's a beautiful house.
