RE: Priced out of your home?

I just got the latest tax assessment and sure enough I will be paying more this year. I did fight the last increase, simply because it came during the depths of the last housing crisis. But now we have so many people moving in from the North who IMO are way overpaying for their houses that the comps are out of control. I guess when you pay $500 k for a shack in New Jersey anything in North Carolina seems like a bargain. I might have to start looking for a less desirable place to call home.

Do you live in the Ashville area? That place seems to be booming! My wife and I have a friend that moved down there for a teaching job. North Carolina is a beautiful state so I can understand the desire to leave jersey!
I do not live in Asheville. Asheville to me is a little of an outlier, beautiful place with a real "artsy" vibe which stands in complete contrast to its "Hillbilly" surroundings.
Ah, okay. I remember visiting Cherokee National Forest when I was a kid, but I don't remember much beyond that. I am looking forward to making it back there some day with my wife. I really want to share the scenery with her.

Here is a little taste of the scenery. I took this photo at the top of Elk Knob which is near Boone. The very last ridge line is about 70 miles away. If you look very closely at the last ridge line you might be able to make out a small knob just left of center that is called Pilot Mountain.
This is Pilot Mountain up close. The name comes from the fact that early settlers used the "knob" of Pilot Mountain to set their course and get their bearings
That is pretty awesome. I remember climbing up Clingman's Dome when I was a kid. I forgot to mention that. I think that is right on the border though.
