I don't see that kind of appreciation even here in Hawaii, where real estate remains 'hotter than a pistol'!

Baby boomers have owned their homes for twenty to thirty years. They have racked up that much or more here in California.
Heck, I have that much equity in my home and I have only owned it for 9 years.
So you would be willing to pay $28,000 in taxes on a $100,000 profit?
I'm not!
