HALF A MILLION? NAH...

HALF A MILLION? NAH...

So I recommend Google Alerts. You don't have to be online to search for stuff that interests you; set it up correctly and Google will email you any time your term pops up on the web.

Naturally, I have it set for my childhood address, especially as it has some small importance for Legion fandom.

Today, in my in box:

Google Web Alert for: "1354 Herschell St"

Bronx home values - compare homes for sale and recently sold homes ...
18, 1354 Herschell St, Bronx, NY 10461, 0.34mi, $540000, Jun 13, 2006, -, -, 1783 sqft, 3558 sqft, 1935, $303. 19, 1541 Overing St, Bronx, NY 10461, 0.23mi ...

Had I known I was growing up in a house that would be worth half a million dollars one day...

... of course, let's not discuss what King County thinks my current home is worth.

*wow*

I was a guest one night long ago in that house and don't remember it being particularly big or impressive. Maybe recent owners redid the kitchen?

Ditto to the comments about appraisal values and property taxes. My taxes and insurance are the equivalent of a small mortgage!
