Covid-19 Impact on Southern NJ Appraisers and Assessors
Residential values for the most part are on fire, land prices increasing. NOW WHAT? Are people laughing all the way to the bank, or losing everything? This seminar will provide guidance from an experienced MAI/CTA appraiser who is regularly engaged in Tax Court and County Board of Taxation hearings, and an experienced Tax Assessor who is also a County Tax Administrator. We will also hear from an expert in the office market: what is happening there as people work from home? The seminar will focus how a global pandemic affected real estate prices both commercially and residentially. We will learn about the impact on appeals as well as revaluations.
