Board affirms county valuation for condo unit at 101 North Vermont Street
Summary
The board confirmed the 2026 assessment of $567,100 for unit 108 at 101 North Vermont after county staff presented sales of comparable two‑bedroom units and the board found the county’s sales analysis persuasive for the year.
The Arlington County Board of Equalization confirmed the county’s recommended 2026 assessment of $567,100 for unit 108 at West View at Boston Metro (101 North Vermont Street) after reviewing sales and inspection notes.
Appellant Henry Zan said he purchased the unit in April for $518,000 and argued the assessment—about 10% higher than his purchase—did not reflect reduced demand for first‑floor units. County staff reported 15 open market sales analyzed for the area and said three two‑bed, two‑bath models similar to the subject sold between $560,000 and $600,000 during the 2026 analysis period; staff recommended confirmation of the $567,100 assessment.
Board members discussed listing and sale timing; several said the sale will be used in next year’s analysis and the county’s comparables supported the current assessment. The board voted to confirm the county’s 2026 assessment.
The county noted the appellant’s recent purchase will be included in the 2027 analysis.
