It makes sense. I wondered why no-one ever did open houses any more. It makes sense.

I have often thought that open houses don't work and certainly don't increase sales. You do however, get to meet many of the neighbors, which is not a good enough reason to give up my Saturdays or Sundays. This is really “good stuff”.

]]> Comment on What Is YOUR Dirt Worth? by Steve http://talkinwaukesharealestate.com/2009/05/28/what-is-your-dirt-worth/#comment-57 Steve Sun, 31 May 2009 04:35:50 +0000 http://talkinwaukesharealestate.com/?p=82#comment-57 Hi Diane! While it's true that the city raised land values, the accessed value can only be disputed for the "total" assessed value. You can contest the value by comparables of recent sales of similar properties or an appraisal of your property. If, as an example, you did a recent refinance, put that appraisal to work if it's a variance from the city 100% assessment. I'm not a real estate professional, but that's the advice from another city assessor in a different community. Hi Diane!
