If the home is priced to reflect the market rate, (and not the seller's fantasy), and it is clean, well-maintained, and shows well, it will go fast. |
That's true, but for those stuck in high tax towns it's hard. You end up having to take a beating on the asking price to make up for the crazy property tax bill. You of all people should know, moving from Laconia to Meredith cut the tax rate you were paying in half. That makes a huge difference when considering buying a property. I looked at a couple of island properties in Gilford, but what chased me away wasn't the property or even the asking price, it was the taxes. Sad to say but if I can get an equivalent property elsewhere and pay half or in some cases even less in property tax why not?
