Valley residents will start receiving their property assessed value notice beginning March 1, 2007. Most folks are shocked to find out that assessed values are not appraisals. Assessed values for homes are usually based on the sales prices of other homes in the area, the size of the home and the quality of construction. Typically, unless you invite the assessor into your home, they are basing their valuation only on what they can see and measure from the outside. They don’t have the benefit of seeing the inside of your home. Assessors typically are not able to visit your home every year and often times every three years is the norm. Appraisers must view the inside of your home and compare your home to recent comparable sales, including foreclosures, short sales, and cash sales. The appraisal process is very different from the assessment process. It is rare that market value and assessed value are the same. I have seen assessed values lower than the market value and I have seen assessed values higher than the market value. The biggest misconception I see everyday is that most of the public has the perception that their market value is at least 15% higher …show more content…
When a market changes quickly, whether it is because of increasing sales prices or declining sales prices, the sales information available to the borough assessor’s office will always be behind the current market. This is particularly true when the market is still growing at the beginning of a year and then slows down during the second half of the year. So when you have a real estate market that begins the year growing and then ends the year declining (which is what happened here in the Mat Su Borough in 2006), property assessments assigned by the borough for 2007 will typically be higher than what the actual current market

Regardless of whether a property owner possesses an older roof, or one that has been recently installed, a roof inspection is advantageous towards the ongoing and maximum overall performance of the most significant component of one's house. You'll often
$1.5 million dollars to possess a piece of land in Manhattan may seem like a vast ocean but if nuts and bolts are revealing in decreasing of price, then why wait for the sunrise, go for it today. Reports poring from all over the places are shouting that metropolitan areas knocked by almost by 24 percent (%) from their highest in May 2006 to October 2008, according to Standard and Poor's S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index, as it is stated on the article. If that is indeed the case, then 24% out of $1.5 million turns out to be approximately $ 1.1 million dollars. If one even negot...
California currently faces the ominous blessing of the El Nino weather system, which promises to bring desperately needed rains in the form of storms and torrential rains. In preparation for these rains, California also has to address the homeless population, who will be stranded in the rains if adequate shelters are not provided for them. In his article, Sunnyvale: Fast-tracked Emergency Homeless Shelter Set To Open, Eric Kurhi cites expert opinions, utilizes emotional appeal, and employs rhetorical devices such as diction in order to provide information on the new homeless shelter opening in Sunnyvale while discussing the overall problem of homelessness.
The selling of tax liens provided the city relief on outstanding debts property owners incurred and saved the City millions of dollars from maintaining buildings. This legislation was broken in to two phases: the first was done by selling $250 million in tax liens to a private investment trust. “The second phase, was initiated by the adoption of Local Law 37 by the City Council. It establishes the grounds for executing a court-sanctioned title transfer of tax-delinquent residential property to a qualified third party if the property is found to be ‘distressed.’’(Oser, 1996). The Giuliani administration’s 1996 Tax Lien Sale legislation was a way to generate income and rid the City of being the largest landlord by being able to capture tax revenue immediately.
During the late 1800s and early 1990s, over 100,000 First Nations children in Canada attended residential schools. At the schools, the children were subjected to emotional, physical, and profound sexual abuse. This led to children growing up without any recollection of whom their families were. Furthermore, they were isolated from both their cultural and spiritual roots. The course of action was to teach the Natives as young children, so that once they became adults, they would run with the Jesuits back to their gathering and help the clergymen with teaching the Nation. Children, who spoke only their primary language, were disciplined or beaten for not communicating in English; they were informed that their language belonged to the demon and
Habitat for Humanity’s main goal is to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness by constructing and building sufficient and necessary housing that are in good neighborhoods and communities (Fuller 18).
In school we are always taught about the lighter parts of Canadian History, but only until recently have Canadian students been taught about the darker parts of our history. Residential Schools were included in these dark parts of Canada’s history. In the 19th century, the Canadian government believed that Residential Schools were responsible for educating and caring for the country’s aboriginal people. The goal of these schools was to teach the aboriginal children about Christianity and Canadian customs, in hopes of them passing these practices on towards their own children and it would eventually be adopted into the aboriginal culture. The Canadian

With only two feature films, Brazilian writer-director Kleber Mendonça Filho has gained a certain cult status, becoming a powerful voice in the alternative world cinema and a keen observer of today’s Brazil. If “Neighboring Sounds” (2012) had stricken me with its irreverent tones, the recent “Aquarius”, a character-driven drama, completely enthralled me for nearly two hours and a half. At the time the film was exhibited at Cannes Film Festival, the film’s cast organized a pacific demonstration where they showed discontentment about the impeachment of Brazil’s president Dilma Roussef and the disgraceful political situation lived in the country.
Methodology: I imported the vector data sets for Sheffield’s secondary school catchment areas which was provided by University of Sheffield Urban Planning department and Sheffield’s property prices 2010-2016 which were downloaded from Land Register (2018), into ArcMap. GIS was used for this study as it enables two kinds of data to be displayed on the same map through multilayering mapping. This is advantageous as it shows a direct visual comparison of house prices and Ofsted ranking in
Valuation of real estates or properties basically, refers to appraising a property or a real estate to form an opinion about the value of the property. This value is normally the properties’ market value. Properties are heterogeneous in nature; meaning they are not all identical or alike and thus, they have different values. However, it is possible to get a range for the values. There are some obvious factors like physical location of a property that automatically makes the market value of different properties differ. The materials used on a property and other features also contribute to making property differ in their value. Other factors such as the physical size of a property still determine a property’s market value (Histon Fine Homes, 2008
During everyone 's lifetime, there is always something we hold closest to our hearts; it maybe our principles we live by, values, and even our own beliefs. Values are those things that are very important to us but never really realize how much we actually value them in our life. Have you ever been asked to define three of your main values and rip them up? I have and I never noticed how much they meant to me. Each and every one of us believes in our own personal values. These values are what gives us strength and strive us to do what makes us happy. These values are very important to us and are standards that we live by whether we realize it or not. Everyone has something we value including me. Some of the values I might think highly of,
Every person with a job, no matter what occupation, makes an impact on society in some way, shape, or form. Some people leave their legacy by defending people in court, some saving lives in a hospital, and others planning and building works of construction. These planners have a large-scale effect on everybody in society and have an eye for detail, as well as enjoy using mathematics to ensure proper construction. That is why I have chosen architecture to be my career. An architect is a person who designs buildings and supervises their construction. A broader view of an architect is a person who is responsible for inventing or realizing a particular idea or project. Architecture varies from the pillars of the Greek Parthenon, to peoples’ homes. I often find myself marveling over the design of large-scale building projects such as the skyscrapers of New York City. Most of these buildings belong to a myriad of well-known companies such as Chase and Toshiba. That is why I have particularly chosen to become a commercial architect.
