I just checked my local Craigslist and see relevant listings there in the Real Estate section. 

(c) Notwithstanding Section 1.04(7)(C), in determining the market value of a residence homestead, the chief appraiser may not exclude from consideration the value of other residential property that is in the same neighborhood as the residence homestead being appraised and would otherwise be considered in appraising the residence homestead because the other residential property:(1) was sold at a foreclosure sale conducted in any of the three years preceding the tax year in which the residence homestead is being appraised and was comparable at the time of sale based on relevant characteristics with other residence homesteads in the same neighborhood; or(2) has a market value that has declined because of a declining economy.I plan to literally print this section of the tax code and bring it to my hearing in case if the appraiser excludes any of my comps that are foreclosures.3.

If you are going to use the house as primary residence, gifting vs inherited property might not be as relevant when you sell the house because hopefully your gain can be excluded via sec 121 exclusion.If this is going to be investment, then inherited property will provide you higher depreciation each year and also drastically cut you gain when you sell it.

that's all it has ever taken me....I'm not going to claim that they're might not be a few thousand in expenses that I didn't account for, although I have no idea where they may come from.... because I have talked to all the relevant government departments and got everything down to the penny, and that includes your precious little "hookup" fee.... and even if there is an extra $3,000, that does not break my bank on the deal.

It is all relevant to your personal situation.
