Look For Those Funny Little Letters Behind Their Names

You want to make sure that when you start your home search or are looking into selling your home, that you find a Realtor that is very knowledgeable in the Market.

The first thing that you will want to look for is whether or not they are a REALTOR. This is something that is important because it means that they are a member of the National Board of Realtors and they are held at a very high ethical standard.

The next thing that you want to look for are those funny letters after their names. You may not know exactly what those letters mean but you can rest assured that it means that they have extra education under their belts that was not required. Knowing that a REALTOR is putting in an extra effort to learn more about their business and their area is admirable in that it shows they care about what they do and helping you recieve what is best for you.

Property Taxes for 2009 in Oxford and How To Calculate Them

You may be wondering about Property taxes in Oxford and what you can expect to pay regarding yearly taxes. There is also a great Tax Calculator on TSCmaps.com

The millage rate on the taxes are as follows:

Property Taxes

City:

34.84 County
77.12 City

111.96 total.

Seperate School District:

36.34 County
49.87 City Schools

Below is an example of how to use the Millage Rate formula:

$100,000 (market value of the home)
x .15 or 15% without homestead
and .10 or 10% with homestead

Then you move the decimal over 2 spaces to the thousandths so a $100,000 home would be multiplied by 15% to give you $15,000. When you move the decimal over three places it equals 15.000. You multiply the 15.0 by the millage rate 111.96 which equals $1679.40 for the year.

What does Ole Miss's Cotton Bowl win mean for Oxford's Economy?

It seems that everytime Ole Miss has a winning season, the housing market in Oxford starts to stir. This year, the trend has been no different! It is encouraging for the people of Oxford trying to sell their homes and condos because this market will pick up towards spring and as I have mentioned in an earlier post that we are only 5 sold units behind the mark compared to last Janury 2008.

The last time that we experience such a great boom in the Oxford economy was during the Eli and Bill Flowers era. Now that we are in the Nutt era, we are experiencing something very close to what we had when Eli and Bill Flowers were playing here.

That is not to say that there will still be great deals in the area! You can find out more by clicking here.
