Consider this an appeal for information, from our readers and their friends.
A reader called this afternoon to offer up some interesting anecdotal information about Wichita home appraisals.
He says that he’s aware of some homeowners, in paid-off homes, whose valuations spiked 14 percent and more this year.
Meanwhile, the caller says, adjacent homes with mortgages saw their values move very little.
“I just wonder,” the caller said, “if the county’s tagging paid-off homes and giving the mortgage holders a little break.”
Good question. So, if you have seen this scenario play out, contact me, Bill Wilson, at 268-6290 or at bwilson@wichitaeagle.com
