Huge increase in Meredith assessments

FWIW: Our town in Rhode Island uses Vision Appraisal as well, and has had for a few years. NB

PS: I wonder if ones Political Affiliation has any bearing on an individuals taxes.

NoBozo,
I think you give them to much credit.

Here's another waterfront house that has seen a price drop, 5 Stonedam Island Rd,, Meredith, which is the first house at the eastern entrance to Sally's Gut. White-3 bed-two story, year round home; last July 2008, it had an asking price of $1,300,000., and now the asking price is $925,000.. That's about a 35% drop and it's been at that price for two months now.

So, what's keeping the buyers from biting now?

Our assessment had gone up 13% over last years. We called the town and met with the assessor to have them come thru the property. They came thru and dropped the value so now we are at a 8.5% increase over last year. The assessor explained that basically they have seen a decrease in value of the structures town wide but that the lake front land has increased dramatically. So if you own on the water, your going to pay.
