Here's the Nov 24 gala bus tour of open houses




A press conference at a house with wildly high taxes, an assessment value currently $70,000 above the several-times-reduced asking price, that after OVER ONE YEAR NO ONE wants to buy the house?????

Wonder if the mayor has the guts to explain why he REFUSES to do a citywide reassesment since it is absolutely essential  Just like, the mayor is TOO CHICKEN to answer, he'd would use a lame excuse that there is no money to do it, but of course he won't go to his billionaire, tax exempt, political cronies to pay for the cost of a reassessment.

Once again, the addresses in green are repeat appearances.

The Main Ave and the Marion Ave are CLEARLY way outdated.  yet the mayor's political cronies at Prudential specifically use the term "updated bathroom and kitchen" on the Marion Ave house.  Wait for the heavy rain on Marion Ave too.

On Morningside looks like the owners are in the process of moving out, empty living room, empty bedrooms

ROFL, the North College St house, only bought one year ago and already the owner is getting rid of it.  Paid $106,000 and this is clearly NOT a flip.  Obviously got the tax bills and decided that was it.  Wow is that owner ever going to take a massive loss.

Ray Ave has been for sale -- by both realtors and by owner -- on and off since 2008.  No one interested.  So now asking price is $30,000 above the assessed value and we all know that the FACTS are that houses are selling for 25 to 30% BELOW assessed values.  Back in the spring when it was listed it was already EMPTY, the owner had left.   So WHY does it still have STAR and other exemptions????


Enjoy

North College Street, perhaps the owner was duped into doing something that he or she would regret, financially. It looks to me as if McCheese is trying to rope in the unsuspecting the way unscrupulous lenders and realtors did on a worldwide level a while back, he may have succeeded in one instance. Remember, my young friend looked at a "cheap" house here in the city, and his ethical lender counseled him against it. Houses are not, in fact, cheap in the city. If people who live on Hamilton Hill cannot give away their homes, anyone who thinks he's getting a bargain there is a fool, whatever he pays.
