Comment was offered by a Short Term rental owner who claimed to be a resident, but then said he lived elsewhere. His property is actually owned by a Limited Liability Corporation. He said that short term rental properties raised community property values by 12 to 15 percent, as if that was a benefit. It is only be a benefit to people looking to sell out and leave town. It is no benefit to anyone who wants to live in the community. It reduces affordability. And, as Andover is a giving town in state wide education tax equalization, the higher the property values, the more tax money we send to the State. Latch key short term rentals in Andover adversely affects affordability for those who actually want to reside here, as opposed to those who are absentee property owners purchasing property solely to generate cash flow for themselves.
