5 Property Tax Questions You Need to Ask

There are some great deals to be had out there right now but as always, we all need to be informed consumers. Before you sign on the dotted line, make sure you know the answers to these property tax questions.

1. What is the assessed value of the property? Note that assessed value is generally less than market value. Ask to see a recent copy of the seller’s tax bill to help you determine this information.

2. How often are properties reassessed, and when was the last reassessment done? In general, taxes jump most significantly when a property is reassessed.

3. Will the sale of the property trigger a tax increase? The assessed value of the property may increase based on the amount you pay for the property. And in some areas, such as California, taxes may be frozen until resale.

4. Is the amount of taxes paid comparable to other properties in the area? If not, it might be possible to appeal the tax assessment and lower the rate.

5. Does the current tax bill reflect any special exemptions that I might not qualify for? For example, many tax districts offer reductions to those 65 or over.

There is much to think about in real estate and I'd love to help guide you through the process! Give me a call.

There’s No Place Like Home…

by, Katie Nelson, REALTOR

When you first move into your new house, it can be quit the transition to make it feel like a home. Sometimes a new property can lack the warmth that is created after years of decorating and collecting; whether it’s the emptiness of the new house, different surroundings and floor plan, or the smell of the previous owner’s. Turning your new place into a home might not all happen over night, however, by taking the time to implement the tips below….you will be well on your way to creating your cozy nest!

1. Buy Flowers. (Preferably fresh flowers) Flowers can help brighten a room and your spirits. Take the time to hand pick some of your favorite flowers to scatter around your new home on the inside and out for instant color and life.

2. Bake cookies or bread. Nothing creates an instant feeling of warmth like walking into a home filled with the scent of fresh baked cookies or bread. And with all of the unpacking you will be doing, you will surely thank me later!

3. Get new throw pillows and throws. Throw pillows and throws can be quick and easy face lifts for chairs and sofas brought over from your previous place. This can also be a good time to play with new color combinations.

4. Change the hardware. New cabinet hardware in bathrooms and kitchens can be an inexpensive way to instantly update and add your personality to these rooms.

5. Hang art. No need to over think the placement of your artwork and pictures. Take a leap and get to hanging. Nail holes are easy enough to patch and your artwork will make it feel more like your home.
