Also, I realize this site is mainly used for investment real estate, so if you're familiar with a better forum for these questions, I'm open to those tips, too.

Market value estimation is never a specific percentage range above or below list price, I realize a lot of 'methods' teach this, but that is starting from the wrong end of things.The question is, what is the market value (regardless of list price, which the listing agent seller could have set at high, low, or spot on)?

Jon  Point 3) requires just a little history,a) the folks pushing this current measure (15) are in large part the same folks that pushed the last Prop 13 measure (the huge educational bond issuance Prop 13 that failed a couple of years ago, not to be confused with the Property Tax Prop 13 that overwhelmingly passes years ago and is still law today).b) that group is also largely the very same coalition that has in the past complained very bitterly about existing Prop Tax Prop 13 and pledged all efforts to fully repeal its benefits for everyone.c) Since this coalition not only failed in its historic attemps to fully repeal real estate tax prop 13 as they pledged to do, but also in their much more current attemp to end run real estate tax prop 13 with the recent monster bond issue prop 13 they have now come to the realization that their only option is a back door attack attempting to sell 15 as a tax on fat cats, classic divide and conquer tactics.

I realize it's a sellers market but the markups I'm seeing seem excessive.

Otherwise, your limited liability isn't fully realized.
