Yep, it's called something like "grieving" and there are law firms dedicated to it. Just not sure about in CA.

This doesn’t happen in California because our valuations are set by purchase price (not some arbitrary valuation set by the county) and then constrained by Prop 13. The only time this could be an option would be if your appreciation was very low.

But look at your tax statement and the assessed value will be less than 1.8 because of prop13. You are paying taxes based on a lower value.

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -

1. Buy a ~8-850k house that meets most of our ideal criteria (size, schools, interiors etc) to stay long term

2. Buy a ~5-550k house that’s not ideal with the plan of moving into an ideal home in 4-5 years when kid is ready for school.
