City officials and the Beacon itself keep pushing the narrative that “the high demand and sales of houses” at the lower end of the price range caused a “dramatic increase in their assessed valuation.” This cause-effect is offered as fact, but it has not been substantiated. I question how it is known that high-demand translated into higher assessments. To talk meaningfully and answer that question, you have to talk about the Sales Ratio Study, but oddly no one is doing that. The company that did the mass appraisal has been doing them state wide. They would have produced the SRS report. Where’s Warwick’s report ? Please have a conversation on that, before asking the public.
