Appealing Your Butler County Ohio Property Tax Bill

There’s a pretty good chance you could be paying more in property taxes than you should be. Let’s say your Butler County property tax bill comes in the mail in January 2016 and you totally disagree with the valuation that has been given to your home. What can you do?

You can appeal your property tax value, by presenting a case to the county review board and try to get the value changed. When you appeal your property tax bill one of three things can happen:

1. You get a decrease in your tax valuation, which results in a decrease in your property taxes.

2. The value is found to be accurate and does not change – your taxes stay the same too.

3. Your property tax valuation increases as a result of your hearing, which results in an increase in your property taxes.

So, why would you appeal? The only reason to appeal your property tax bill is to prove that the Butler County Auditor’s value exceeds the market value. It is important to note here that the value indicated on your tax bill will be the value as established on January 1st, 2015. You are going to be trying to prove a revised value for January 1st, 2015. You are not trying to establish what today’s market value of your home is. A well researched appeal can significantly lower your property taxes.

**Important note: The deadline each year to file an appeal of your Butler County Ohio property tax bill is March 31st at 5:00PM, which falls on a Thursday this year. Appeals submitted after this time will be dismissed.

Selling A Home In The Winter

December 30, 2015 by Eric Lowry

Selling a home in the winter can be very beneficial to you as a home owner believe it or not. You may think that Spring or even Summer is the best time to put your home on the market, and that’s not quite true. There are several reasons you may want to consider selling a home in the winter.

The buyers who are out looking at homes in the winter are typically very serious buyers, and for varying reasons, have a strong motivation to buy. Braving the winter temperatures and snow is not for the faint of heart. These buyers need to find a home, and usually they need to do so quickly.

Inventory is much lower in the winter than it is in the Spring and Summer. Selling a home in the winter means less competition for you as a seller. If you wait until Spring, the home inventory shoots up. Many other sellers put their homes on the market in the Spring and Summer, and there is also an influx of available New Construction to compete with as well. If you want to sell your home for the best price possible, wouldn’t you want to go up against less competition rather than more?

The accompanying chart shows the home inventory levels for the first five months of 2015 according the National Association of Realtors. As you can see, the longer you wait the higher the level of competition you will have when putting your home on the market.

If you’ve been considering selling a home in the winter, contact us today to schedule a consultation and find out what your home is worth. Don’t forget to ask about our Home Sale Guarantee! The Lowry Team will sell your home in 88 days or less, or we’ll sell it for FREE!

10 Reasons Now Is The Best Time To Sell Your Home

November 2, 2015 by Eric Lowry

10 Reasons Now Is the Best Time to Sell Your Home

1. There are motivated buyers in the market that must buy for job & tax reasons.

2. During the holiday season there are typically less homes on the market and this year it is more true than ever.. Less supply
means less competition. Less competition means more money in your pocket.

3. Many people have time off during the holidays, which increases their availability to see
homes. Home buyers that buy during the holiday season tend to be serious buyers.

4. Home buying is an emotional purchase and emotions tend to run high during the holiday
season. Strategically, having the opportunity to work off a buyer’s emotion is in your
favor . . . they tend to offer a higher price when emotions are involved.

5. The holiday season reminds many people of family. The home is the foundation of the
family unit. More people become motivated to buy during the holidays, more than
other times of the year.

6. Interest rates are incredibly low right now, which allows a home buyer to afford more in the
market. When rates are low, buyers tend to present higher purchase offers.

7. Many sellers will wait and list after the first of the year, which causes a lot of new
inventory of homes for sale in January. The longer you wait; the more competition you create for
yourself. You can expect a flood of new home inventory in 1st quarter of 2016. As supply
increases, your likelihood of getting an offer at an acceptable price decreases.

8. Since most people do not want to move during the holidays, you can secure a contract
now while your selling opportunity is high and arrange for a delayed closing with the buyer(s).

9. Companies typically bring new talent in starting at the beginning of the year. These
new hires are looking at property now. You must be on the market to take advantage
of these buyers.

10. Selling now can give you more buying power later. By selling your home now, you can
buy after January when the market becomes saturated with listings as a noncontingent
buyer. This gives you negotiating power!
