As the year winds down we all begin to make plans for the coming
year. Some of those may include making a move, either to a new part of the
country, or just to another part of town.
Your first step should be to contact one of our Jones Group REALTORS® for advice. Perhaps your home is move-in ready for that perfect
buyer, or maybe you would prefer to just sell it “as-is.” If your home is a little dated, or has had
its share of “living,” some de-cluttering and a little paint will go a long
way. Read advice from The Massachusetts Association REALTORS®.
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.”
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.
