Jacksonville couple sees home appraisal jump 40 percent after they remove all traces of “Blackness”
An Ortega couple whose home appraisal came in more than $100,000 below expectations tried an experiment. According to a Facebook post and a story in Tuesday’s New York Times, Abena and Alex Horton sought a second appraisal -- but first, they redecorated their house.
According to Abena Horton's post, "we took down all family pictures containing Black relatives. We took down all pictures of African-American greats that we display to inspire our son. Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison came down from the bookshelves; Shakespeare went up. My son and I took a convenient shopping trip during the appraisal, leaving my white male husband to show the appraiser around, alone."
The second appraisal jumped by 40 percent – going from the initial $330,000 to $465,000
https://www.firstcoastnews.com/artic...9-da82f5c0ea20Horton said that's when the family "whitewashed" their home.
"We appraised $135,000 higher the second time around. The amount of an entire house in some areas," she wrote. "Racism silently but conspicuously steals wealth. Racism wastes time. Racism raises blood pressure. Racism makes me hate myself for my calm acceptance of what I had to do, and have always had to do, to achieve a fair result. I write this from a place of absolute anguish, to sort through my emotions. I want better for my son. #BlackLivesMatter."
