Hoboken Condos Sales & Activity – Week of March 16th, 2011
I’ve heard from various sources, like CNN Money, that rent hikes are on the way. It will be interesting to see how that plays out in Hoboken with its archaic rent control rules. At least the City Council amended them to impose a reasonable statute of limitations. Meanwhile, it looks like sellers have lowered prices enough that things are starting to sell with very few price reductions. The warm weather is just around the corner. Let’s see if that brings the buyers out in force.
Tax Appeals – Time is Running Out!
I’m still happy to send you comps if you are appealing your own taxes. Let me be really clear about something, though. If your taxes are not too high, you shouldn’t file an appeal. I’ve gotten several requests from people whose assessment is well below what it should be. Keep in mind that the City has a 15% margin of error. If your assessment does not multiply out to at least 15% over the current market value of your property, you are not likely to be successful in an appeal. The “upper limit” multiplier for Hoboken is .3407. To see where you are at, take your assessed value and divide by .3407. For example, if your assessed value is $175,000, the result would be $513,648. Your property value based on the comps must be less than $513k to win an appeal. You can get more details on tax appeals and forms at the Hudson County Tax Board website.
