Only 8 days to Spring and the beginning of Moncton's version of a Spring real estate market. </h3>
Normally Spring is the busiest season in the metro Moncton real estate market. But with only 8 days to go the local snow cover may delay our Spring market. No shortage of listings though. Now if the buyers would come out of hibernation......<br />

My postings on my other Moncton real estate blog, <a href="http://blogmoncton.com/">blogMoncton.com</a>, contain some easy to comprehend graphs which illustrate the monthly and quarterly real estate activity in 2014.<br />

In a few weeks I will post my forecast for the Moncton area real estate market in 2015.<br />

Estate Assessment Debate<span style="font-family:arial;">May I introduce some professional research and conclusion into the debate on so called skyrocketing property assessments? My searches of the MLS® database available to me as a member of the Greater Moncton Real Estate Board reveal the following information.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">284 detached single family freehold properties in the City of Moncton were sold on MLS® in the second half of 2006. Analysing these 284 sales reveals that only 32 sold below their assessment. Of these 32, one was a former marijuana grow operation seized by the federal government, five were sold under power of sale, and three were estate sales. All these selling situations are not conducive to achieving a higher market sale price and in my opinion they should not be considered.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Thus, I will categorize 23 of these 284 sold properties as probably over assessed in 2006. My analysis also shows that of these 23 sales, thirteen sold for amounts within 5% of their assessed value. In the City of Moncton in the second half of 2006, assessments exceeded sale prices by more than 5% in a mere 10 of 284 sales. 252 sold for more than their assessments.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Now if anyone wants to fire off a skyrocket, guess how many of the 284 sold for more than 125% of their assessment.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14422861090692306729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8736875443300612307.post-23918004164366864062007-03-30T22:43:00.001-04:002008-04-18T09:11:13.549-04:00Property tax revolt?What's revolting is the local newspaper playing up to the demagoguery being spouted by disgruntled citizens.<br /><br />If one wishes to reduce property taxes then one must reduce the spending! It's this tax warrant that keeps going up. The math is simple. Estimated spending for the year divided by the property assessment base equals the mil rate. If tax warrant spending stays the same and the assessment base goes up then the mile rate goes down and the property taxes stay the same. Got that?<br /><br />And who sets these spending budgets? The municipal councils and local service districts the citizens elect. Grass roots governments. I didn't bother attending the public part of the Moncton City Council's budget presentation. But I'm not complaining.<br /><br />However I do wonder if the disgruntled were at that meeting?<br /><br />I also wonder if they are the same disgruntled that want a government rebate on their heating bill but won't spend some money on better insulation, windows or ventilation to lower their heating bill? But that's another blog.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14422861090692306729noreply@blogger.com0
