Mason Real Estate Market Update – January 2016

February 1, 2016 by Eric Lowry

Year Ends With Extremely Low http://www.88daysorfree.com/Inventory for Mason

The Mason Real Estate Market ended in an extremely strong sellers’ market with a 2.5 month inventory of homes for sale. A 6 month inventory level is considered a balanced market. Anything under 6 months worth of inventory is considered to be an undersupply, favoring home sellers as opposed to favoring home buyers.

If inventory doesn’t increase soon, the market will stall. Thinking of selling your Mason home? This significant lack of inventory makes right now a fantastic time to get your home listed for sale.

The average sale price of homes in Mason is $340,868, which is up .84% from the same time last year. Home prices are on a slow, steady rise; and are expected to continue to increase. Average days on market in Mason is 81 days, compared to 83 last winter. The average list to sale price ratio for Mason Real Estate is up slightly at 97.14% compared to last year’s 96.89%. This number reflects what percentage of the list price homes are actually selling for.

Appealing Your Warren County Ohio Property Tax Bill

January 12, 2016 by Eric Lowry

Appealing Your Warren County Ohio Property Tax Bill

Chances are that you could be paying more in property taxes than you should be. Let’s say your Warren County property tax bill comes in the mail in January 2016 and you completely disagree with the valuation that has been given to your home. Well, there’s something you can do about it.

You can appeal your property tax value, by presenting a case to the county review board to 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 want to appeal? The only reason to appeal your property tax bill is to prove that the Warren 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 Warren 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.
