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 Dr. Ryan Wallace, Economist, Brad Martin, South Portland Assessor, and Rob Lynch, SRA, AI-RRS, Certified Residential Appraiser. The "What Happens When Policy Meets Property Value? The Economics Behind Rent Control" panel  will explore how rent control impacts everyone in a community, not just landlords and tenants. Single family home owners are seeing a significant increase in property taxes. The panel will look at how this happens and what other policy decisions influence property values. Learn how property values are established, how assessments and appraisals differ, and why those numbers matter far beyond the tax bill. This panel will unpack how rent control policies influence property values, investment decisions, and long-term housing supply.
