I personally was pleased with my assessment for Laconia and found it to be very accurate with current market conditions. We just bought a condo this year and the 2009 assessment was $40,000 higher than our purchase price.

This was a regular sale (not a short sale or foreclosure) so I am happy that the property was reassessed to reflect real conditions. We paid $72,000 for a furnished unit so I thought our new assessment of $68,600 was right on par.

Of course for people who bought at the height of the market these values may not be good news!
