Also, it's a perfect example of the difficulty buying into this market. Check out the Tax History.

The owner -- possibly not even living there -- is only paying $1245 a year in property tax, or a rate of 0.06%.

If you buy and move in you'll be paying 25x that.

  YEAR	PROPERTY TAXES	CHANGE	TAX ASSESSMENT	CHANGE
  2015	$1,245	--	$52,629	+2.0%
  2014	$1,245	+44.8%	$51,599	+0.5%
  2013	$860	+14.0%	$51,367	+2.0%
