Location Value

Location

The biggest driver of value.

Your property’s value is driven by immutable attributes, like being near the water or a commuter rail line. Many aspects of your location are not immutable, such as taxes, fees, and the quality of water, safety, schools and other essential services.

How do homeowners, property owners and taxpayers assess the value of their location based on these mutable attributes? How can one assess how these attributes are poised to change?

How do governments know that they are servicing their constituents as efficiently as possible? How do they make the most of tax dollars while continuously improving on the provision of essential services?

What is the fully-loaded cost of essential services?

Many authorities have the right to collect taxes and fees, such as the city, county, sewer authority and school district. A monopoly service provider also charges fees that while technically not a tax, can definitely feel like one. All in, what are these costs? How do they compare to other cities and towns? How have they been trending over time? What about future taxes and fees?
How will rising taxes affect the value of your home or property?
All of this information in one place, easy to understand. Actionable.

Municipal Pay and Benefits: High Value, Low Awareness

Just how much is a compensation package worth? Municipalities understand the value of their total compensation packages but the dollar value of benefits is not always visible to employees.
