Puppy, the Roloff Farms is a business so it's public record as far as their address and phone number. I just Googled that address and found the permit request.

Btw, my address and phone number are out there as are most of ours. With the internet, there isn't much we can't find out about other people!

With all that land, the property is worth less than 300K? I am shocked!

I suppose you are right -- kind of scary.

I just cannot believe that my house on less than 1/3 acre is worth more than their property...

Oh, they all looked really good on Oprah, especially Molly & Amy. You could tell O never watched before. I was hoping she might have addressed the messy house comments that they must know they get...

If they live out in the country, acreage can be inexpensive, maybe as little as a $1000 an acre. My Mom has 10 acres here in New York and it's only worth $2500 per acre if we were to sell it today. Seems crazy though, because my Mom's country property has city water and a huge barn on it.

The Roloff's probably haven't had a reassessment since redoing their house last season.

Julie, I got the same impression, (Oprah has never seen the show). I felt sorry for Zach... the last thing a teenage boy wants is to be put centre stage about his dating/not dating. The clips re: Zach and girls seemed to take up half the time. LOL Yes, Molly looked great too.. she is going to be a real stunner as an adult, Jacob as well... adorable is an understatement.

Is that the value of the (Roloff's) land or land + bldgs?

The question of why we don't see Molly's bedroom was answered. Amy said the only room cameras aren't allowed is Molly's room because a girl needs her privacy.

They are a good looking family and everyone seems healthy.

One comment that I found interesting was when Matt referred to the boys having a time when they weren't doing well in school and that they needed a camera free space to study...he made it sound like school problems were a thing of the past??

I thought Matt seemed a little bit nervous which is curious since he spends time on the lecture circuit.

Yup, it looked like O never watched the show.

I was impressed how pretty Amy was today. The whole family looked great and made a very good impression. Good show!

They really are a handsome family and well spoken and Amy and Molly looked just great!

I don't know how reassessment works in Oregon.

Here in California, thanks to Jarvis Prop 13, a property can only increase in value so much a year, so if you hold the property for a long time and don't do major improvements, the price you will see on the assessment rolls will often be much lower than actual value. And if values drop (as they have lately) and drop below assessed value, you can petition to be reassessed to a lower price. Of course in newer areas there are other special assessments/taxes that partially get around the prop 13 benefit.

And again, no idea about Oregon.

I live fairly close to the Roloff Farm. Assessments in Oregon are based on the last sales price of the property and then are scaled up from there each year. They are not a clear indication of the current market value of the property, unless it was recently sold.

In looking at zillow.com, the Roloff address doesn't show a valuation, but there are two properties in the vicinity that are for sale. One is priced at $699,000 and the other at $579,000. I would imagine the Roloff property would be in that range as well if they were to put it on the market, but it's hard to say.

By comparison, my home is shown on zillow as being worth about $300,000 in the current market, but its assessed value is $172,500, based on the sales price when I bought it back in 1999. :-)

Hey, Max, long time no see. We need another mini TVCH breakfast meeting. It's been almost a year for you and me.

Anybody else think that Zach and his girlfriend are just a cute as they can be?

When he walked in her house and said, "Hey....you look beautiful."

He said it so matter-of-factly that she didn't know whether to be embarrassed or flattered.

Great stuff to watch.

That separate comment was just said in jest... maybe not jest exactly but I know it was not a serious comment.

I figured the comment was probably taken out of context. I find myself really disgusted with how misleading previews are on many, many shows. Why do they think it's okay to intice us with misleading previews?

I looked at those building permits, and based on the value on the other permits....I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that is the value of the ADDITION! If it is, YIKES!!

Julie, I'm so glad you were right! I really think this family and that marriage has a lot going for it!

My 14 yr. old daughter watched the episode with my husband and me. When Matt got up on the couch and sat right next to Amy, I asked my daughter if she knew that he was apologizing to Amy. My husband agreed.

LOL, Happymom, that's what I said, too. My husband and I watched the episode together, and my DH does exactly the same thing immediately after he p*sses me off: he follows me around like a puppy, trying to apologize. And I don't wanna hear it. It annoys the heck outta me!
