The second home market never seemed to recover from the Great Recession of 2007-2008. That is until Covid-19 hit and suddenly house hunters from New York to Texas are swarming the market in search of that ideal second home escape. A term dubbed “city shopping” has never been more prevalent with urban dwellers looking to head out for the summer or to possibly make that permanent move to exchange crowds for wide-open spaces.
Your house should feel like home, and it should look the part. Dallas luxury real estate includes a multitude of architectural designs to choose from, so you’ll want to find the one that speaks to you.
You should have received your 2020 appraisal notice in the mail by now from the Dallas Central Appraisal District, and whether or not that is actually the case, you are still in charge of paying property taxes on that new amount. That is, unless you successfully protest your appraisal, which can be done either by mail or online through June 15th, due to Covid-19.
The time has come for the Dallas Central Appraisal District to send out new appraisal district value statements to its residents. In fact, all of North Texas should be receiving statements in the next week. It is important to note that the District is not required to send a paper notice, so if you fail to find yours in your mailbox, go to www.DCAD.org and look it up.
