Do Property Assessments Affect the Value of Your Home?

Posted in Visit on December 21st, 2011 by Carolyn Barnes

Jones Group REALTOR^®and author of Challenge Your Taxes (Wiley 1998), Jim Lumley was recently quoted in a Greenfield Recorder article. “Property taxes are more a function of how much money a community, municipality/and/or county need to operate. As state and federal dollars previously spent for local needs shrink, communities must often make up the difference with property taxes.”

You may take several steps to ensure that your home assessment is accurate.

1. Visit your town website and examine information about your property.

2. Evaluate your neighborhood. How does your home compare to your neighbors'?

3. Contact a Jones Group REALTOR^® about current values, market trends or request a professional market analysis of your property.

To learn more about your current home value contact Jones Group REALTORS^® in our Amherst, Northampton and Belchertown offices. Read more information from the Greenfield Recorder article.
