Property Tax Grievance with Pete Berman.

Ever notice that a seller’s property tax assessment looks a bit high. Has a buyer ever

rejected what should have been his dream house only because the taxes seemed too

high for the area? Has a neighbor asked you if you think the taxes are too high and

should he file for a reduction? Help your sellers, help your buyers, and even help

yourself grieve what looks like an unfair assessment. Get an overview of the property

tax appeal process and when it should be used.

Square foot pricing and discussions are a constant challenge. We recently received the email below from Barbara Carr, does a great job providing some insight.

How Appraisers Figure "Price Per Square Foot"
I recently read an article where an appraiser talked about how he figured “price per square foot.” He said it has become a common practice to take the selling price and divide it by the gross living area which has, in some areas, become the basis for establishing the listing price of a home.

However, it’s not as simple as that.

Appraisers also rely on an index provider called “Marshall & Swift” (MarshallSwift.com), which provides various cost estimates for different types of properties. When appraisers figure a price-per-square-foot estimate, they take the following into consideration.

Superior/inferior features as compared to other properties
Dissimilar amenities
One-story home versus two or more stories
Length of time on the market
Seller concessions
Size of the land
Location of the home (i.e., view, utility easements, corner lot)
Seller motivation to sell (i.e., foreclosure, short sale)
There are many stories out there of buyers backing out of contracts because the square foot price of the home on the listing agreement (or verbal communication) did not match the appraiser’s estimate. So, when a buyer asks you the question, “What’s the square foot price?” you can say…“It depends upon….”
