Page 1 oft Scot Ragsdale- 4535 Lobo Ln (354785) R. Poole From: one goodman <onegoodman00@hotmail.com> To: Scot Ragsdale <SRagsdale@co.marion.or.us> Date: 10/31/2020 12:44 PM Subject: 4535 Lobo Ln (354785) B. Poole Attachments: 4535 Lobo MLS Listing highlighted.pdf; 4535 Lobo Plot wells-easment.jpg Scot, I have attached the sales listing for our lot. It shows the original listing price of$240k and the listing date of 8/24/2018. This document was printed on 2/12/2020, and shows the asking price was lowered to $189k. We were actually under contract on this date with a sale price of $165k. 6 lots of approx. the same size were created from the original lot in two partitions (P.P. 2019- 027, P.P. 2019-019). 3 of these lots sold in 2019 for$229k, $240k and $240k. The last 3 sold in 2020 for$179k, $169k and $165k. Ours is the least desirable shaped lot, it has the lowest producing well, and it has an access and utility easement for 2 other lots.The easement measures 40' x 600',taking up over half an acre of the most useable area. I have attached a parcel map for reference. If you are going to the lot, you will see we have mowed and sprayed for blackberries on about half the land, and added a storage space for our RV. These are the only 'improvements' we have made. In the future,we plan to clean out more blackberries and probably plant some landscaping trees. Otherwise, no material improvements are planned for the next several years. After that, we will build our retirement home there. Our lot was the last to go under contract and was on the open market for 16 months. I firmly believe if the RMV of this lot was even close to $233,660 it would have sold much quicker and for a larger sum. I also firmly believe the price offered and accepted in Jan. 2020 of$165,000 is the true, fair, and real market value of this lot on Jan 1st 2020. Based on the facts herein, I feel the RMV on the tax record should reflect the actual price paid of$165,000. Please note,this is still almost3 times last year's RMV of$60,280 with taxes paid of$726, which is what we thought we would be liable for. Based on the figures you gave me (Change Property Ratio of.5914) I believe the Total Assessed Value should be $97,581, making the tax due about $1,131.70. Thank you for discussing the details of the taxation with me, and taking the time to look at these records. I appreciate your willingness to help, and we would be very grateful if you decide to make these changes. If there is anything else you require, or that may help you make your decision, please let me know. file:///C:/Users/SRagsdale/AppData/Local/Temp/XPgrpwise/5F9D5C4BG WM2M-ASAI 1... 11/9/2020
