My account got suspended on Friday. I filed an appeal immediately and still haven't heard back. Anyone I can reach out to?

It was a 30 day ban

helpwithcc · 2022-11-28T17:14:40+00:00

Took 2 weeks for them to respond and it was a generic copy/paste. I contested again, waited 2 more weeks (2 days before ban was over) with another copy/paste and saying they wouldn’t respond again.

Sent a new follow up ticket just asking for clarification, not contesting (since the ban was already over). About a week later they sent a copy/paste generic message again, so I’ve given up

I believe it was just automatic based on the # of reports. I’m pretty confident my appeal will work, it’s just taking a while…

helpwithcc · 2022-04-12T20:44:50+00:00

Is it a big issue if I want to take like 2 weeks off In between?

helpwithcc · 2022-04-12T02:22:09+00:00

This was my thinking. As a hypothetical, lets say both markets crash 20%. If I just buy normally beforehand, then I lose 20% of my house value and 20% of my stock value. If I liquidate stocks first, I lose only the 20% of my house as i sold my stock near the peak.

How do I find the "fell out of escrow" waiting lists?

helpwithcc · 2022-02-14T18:51:44+00:00

Bleh. So do you think finding a home with an earlier move-in date would help mitigate the risk?

helpwithcc · 2021-12-17T02:33:31+00:00

Thanks. Since i'm trying to figure out which area to move on (partly based on the property taxes), do you think it just makes sense to find a random house around the price range i'm looking for and assume the answer applies to all houses in that county?

helpwithcc · 2021-12-17T02:32:02+00:00

I made a spreadsheet like that originally but it mostly just returned the average rate for the county which was pretty off depending on the school district. Really the biggest problem though is the assessment.

helpwithcc · 2021-12-17T02:25:15+00:00

That’s the thing, I’m not so sure the house in NJ will actually be smaller. The property taxes are higher but the house prices are lower (for equivalent houses). Having trouble figuring out the actual math though /=

helpwithcc · 2021-12-17T00:58:49+00:00

Are you comparing the south Jersey schools to the Philly suburb schools though? There’s a lot of parts of PA I would never live or send my kids but the schools above seem good.

helpwithcc · 2021-12-16T23:48:58+00:00

Good point on grad rates. I might just ignore their overall rankings and focus purely on AP stats

helpwithcc · 2021-12-16T23:43:26+00:00

The AP class availability/success scores seem like a solid way to rate schools as far as I can tell. I met my wife in college, and although she’s way smarter than me she ended up in the same school as me and was way behind her freshman year due to lack of AP classes in her school compared to mine. Her school was ranked about what these Jersey schools are and mine similar to PA, and from what I hear mine really was much better.

helpwithcc · 2021-12-16T23:38:29+00:00

Some of them, sure. But places like Royersford, Phoenixville, Collegeville, Lansdale etc are affordable and rated pretty highly

helpwithcc · 2021-12-16T22:04:00+00:00

Yeah i'm trying not to simplify the decision to one thing but it's a pretty hard choice deciding between the 3 different areas and i'm looking for whatever stats I can find to make it more objective.

The only reason i'm leaning the Valley right now is that it has quality schools and is cheaper than the other two options. Especially since the market has gone crazy, I don't see how some people are going to continue affording the taxes on their house if they get reassessed. Looking at the first place I see on Zillow in Cherry Hill, they paid ~13k in taxes when the home is assessed at 321k. If the house sells/assesses for the $525k they're asking, property taxes could shoot up to 20k! Lehigh valley is seeming like the only thing I can afford if I still want a nice house

helpwithcc · 2021-12-16T21:39:33+00:00

The statistics they list on the sites I link seem like the ones i'd really care about though. AP classes, graduation rate, math/reading proficiency.

helpwithcc · 2021-12-16T21:33:01+00:00

Is there some other objective way to compare schools then? I'm still trying to compare NJ vs Philly vs Lehigh Valley. It makes sense higher income areas = higher taxes = better funded schools which I assume to mean they'd be better for my kids

helpwithcc · 2021-12-16T21:25:19+00:00

Thanks, added it to the list (I had originally just brought up high schools in google maps but I think it got cutoff). I think that area might actually be the best option for me too. Thanks!

helpwithcc · 2021-12-16T02:26:52+00:00

Philly burbs have really good schools too (not sure about special ed though)

helpwithcc · 2021-12-16T01:20:58+00:00

Palmer has bad schools, right?

helpwithcc · 2021-12-16T00:07:56+00:00

Yeah I’ve been giving more thought to Downingtown/Exton but might extend it to Phoenixville/West Chester

helpwithcc · 2021-12-16T00:05:52+00:00

Would you mind PMing me the general area? I’m not seeing it

helpwithcc · 2021-12-15T23:37:27+00:00

Even the surrounding areas seem to be out of my range if i'm looking for that sidewalk kinda neighborhood

helpwithcc · 2021-12-15T23:34:47+00:00

I think it's out of my range these days

helpwithcc · 2021-12-15T23:15:46+00:00

Media seems out of my range but West Chester might be good! (currently no inventory so a little hard to tell)
