I was going to express my sympathy for you buying into NJ's outrageous property taxes. But $5,700 is amazingly low. State average property tax is $8,700.
We live in the cheapest house in a huge 40-year old development. 3BR, 2bath, only 1,700 Sf, on 0.4 acres. Property tax last year was $11,200. Two years ago we appealed the valuation of our property. Taxes dropped by 22%. If we hadn’t got them reduced, they would have been over $14,000 last year. Big nut for someone my age, retired and living on SS and my IRA's.
Maybe we could have worked out a trade.... PA sounds good to me. And I could have kept my firearms, and kept my 15-round magazines.
But.... welcome to NJ
Good for you for appealing that nonsense and lowering the property tax. Honestly, I should that too.
You did a great thing moving closer to your kids but you guys have scared the shit out of me with those property tax rates! I feel like a bitch complaining about my taxes increasing $20 to $1820 per year.

Very happy you guys got into a house! Congrats! Far from a poor financial decision. You'll have fun outfitting that garage. A good torpedo heater would be fine to warm it up fast.
Also, my sub 1700sq ft house on 2 acres is about $1800/yr in PA...but I also live 20 minutes away from any civilization.
Again, way to go!
