Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $415,000 – $640,000, from 12 comparable Somerville sales in the past 18 months.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Somerville assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $509,000 home should be assessed near $299,292.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $161,992 below what the ratio math suggests (54.1%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Somerville home
$2.388 Schools · 59% $0.552 County · 14% $1.138 Town · 28%

Keep quiet and enjoy it
This home's assessment ratio sits below the Somerville pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
