"Hot Topics: Local Issues Impacting Housing in 2025" Panel

Description

Brought to you by the Legislative and Political Advocacy Committee

Join the Greater Portland Board of REALTORS® as we discuss local issues impacting housing this year with Harald Bauer Bredesen, Program Director of GrowSmart Maine; Charles Tetelman, Planner with NorthStar Planning; and Milan Nevajda, South Portland Planning Director.

Topics of Discussion will include:

• Property Tax Revaluation
• How does it work? Your clients think their taxes will always go up after a revaluation. Learn why that’s not necessarily true. 
• Comprehensive Plans and Zoning
• Development potential, subdivisions, adding more units, etc. How does a town’s comp plan and zoning affect the value of property?
• Resiliency 
• How are recent extreme weather events impacting existing properties and new development? What you need to know for the future of real estate.
