This is an interesting paper. Definitely keeping an eye on what the property tax increase in Raleigh does over the next few years as well as the expected large jump in tax values coming to Durham next year.

To Get the Housing Market Moving, Raise Property Taxes
A recent paper compares California and Texas to suggest a novel approach to improving homeownership for young families. It’s an idea that can't be ignored.
