a flat assessment
The 2008 real estate assessments are out now and for the first time in at least 10 years the assessed value of our house did not rise. This is to be expected, I guess, given everything going on in the housing market but it does take a little of the glow off of having finally gotten the work done for the tax abatement program.
had i paid attention last year, i would have been happier this year, i stayed the same but didn’t realize how much i had gone up last year…. duh?
We are getting ready to do some major work on our house. Once done, we know the value will go up - first time since we’ve bought the house - and it has us a little worried.
On the bright side, at least it did not rise for you.
