property tax rates (in some areas) are on the rise. In my area (NE Illinois and SE Wisconsin), the rates are outright extortion. A lot of the property ads I've been seeing lately include "seller is very motivated", then I look at the taxes and know why. I routinely see houses here priced at 100k with 6000/year in property taxes, and we're not even near Chicago. For a 100k house in the city, the taxes around 8500/year now.
If we were to buy in my area right now, we would be paying $400-500/month just in property taxes.
