when setting the tax rate - only data from the city assessors is important

as far as getting a wider snapshot of the actual real estate market and its imperfect representation to those who cannot begin to understand the complexities of it - the warren group (the standard for accurate real estate data) - is the most accurate information source available today in the boston area

zillow is one of the worst data sources i have ever seen in this business - in this market - and i have been doing this a very long time and analyze data relative to this industry on a constant basis today

the more frightening aspect of the original post of this thread is the subtle inference that actual news stories in the newspaper have ever even once been influenced by the owners of the newspaper - that's another laughable and completely arrogant misconception
