sarah michelle gellar home sale could cost you a fortune if you live next door
Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, prepare to feel personally attacked by the housing market. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. just put their stunning Los Feliz mansion on the market for a cool $6.5 million, and while we're all drooling over the photos of the resort-style pool and private screening room, the real horror story is what this means for your own property value. Real estate experts warn that celebrity home sales like this artificially inflate comparable home values in the immediate area, meaning your own humble abode's property taxes could jump by thousands of dollars overnight if your neighbor decides to price-gouge off the hype. So while you can't afford to buy SMG's old digs, you might still get stuck paying the bill for her move to a bigger closet.
