Three different Merrimack Valley markets
- Lowell is a city on the Merrimack River with many 2–4 family homes, older single-family houses, and condominiums, including units in converted mill buildings.
- Dracut borders Pelham, NH and is mostly single-family neighborhoods, with some condominiums and larger lots.
- Tyngsborough borders Nashua, NH, and includes single-family homes, condominium communities, and waterfront properties.
Because these towns sit next to New Hampshire, buyers often compare homes on both sides of the line. We select comparable sales from the market that actually competes with your home.
Massachusetts tax abatement timing
In Massachusetts, assessments generally reflect value as of January 1, and abatement applications are generally due by the due date of the first actual (not preliminary) tax bill. Confirm the current deadline with your assessor, and see our tax abatement appraisal page.
Appraisals for lenders and private clients
We prepare lender purchase and refinance appraisals and private appraisals for pre-listing, divorce, estate, and relocation assignments. Other Massachusetts coverage includes Chelmsford, Westford, Billerica, Tewksbury, Methuen, and Haverhill.
