The town catches up with market prices only once a year — and only based on the average change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.

This home's payments are about right

It sits inside Alpha's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $221,661

Likely range $196,681 – $303,144, from 12 comparable Alpha sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

63.67%

The state's official measure of how far Alpha assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $221,661 home should be assessed near $141,132.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$132,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $9,132 below what the ratio math suggests (6.5%).
