  If it’s that big of a problem for their life, why not just sell the house? It’s a non-issue. Maybe they should’ve taken that into consideration.

    So, the house is now valued at 6x the original value? If they sold it at only 4-5x it would still be a huge win.

      Their taxes were grandfathered in because they bought the property at a much lower value, the house was already worth a lot more than they paid for it.

        Completely true, but not a loss.

      They want the house, not the money. Now they’ll be forced to sell to some rich person. Doesn’t sound like a win to me

        They wanted a new, two-story house, but with a tax loophole to save money.

        Maybe it is different for me because I moved every couple years growing up. I have lived in 15 places in my life, and the most recent is a record of over a decade.
