Report Inappropriate Comments

Dean DeTonnancourt and Phil Slocum are two of the smartest, most respected names in R.I. Real Estate. There comments are 100% accurate. Property taxes do vary greatly, especially just before and just after an assessment.

The study released by SmartAsset however, shows the average of all properties in each city/town. That's not comparing apples to apples. If a buyer in the $200,000 price range compared a $200,000 single-family Zillow sale in Warwick to a $200,000 single-family Zillow sale in Cranston, East Greenwich, Coventry or North Kingstown, the taxes in Warwick would be higher, and that is what pushes buyers OUT of Warwick.

In order to bring buyers BACK to Warwick we need to "Cut Taxes - Cut Spending". The direction of this City Council and this Mayor seems to be in that direction and they deserve a vote of confidence for their efforts.

Happy Valentines everyone.
