Tax Time!

Don’t you just love it when tax appraisal time comes around? You never know what you’re going to get! As a REALTOR® I am often amused when the tax appraisal value of homes can go up while the actual selling price of homes may go down. Kind of makes you wonder what criteria the bureaucrats are using when they value our homes.
This is the reason why buyers shouldn’t get carried away just because a house is being offered at “10,000 below tax appraisal!!!” That tax appraisal may not be in harmony with the actual market price of the house in question. When buying or selling, market value is the real deciding factor. Where the real estate market is concerned, a home is worth exactly as much as the most eager buyer is willing to pay.
As an experienced REALTOR®, I will do a comparative market evaluation (free, of course!) on your property. I will take into consideration all of the comparable property sales in your market area and factor in the things that make your home unique. This helps us to set the price of your property at the right place—and positions you to realize the greatest profit in the least amount of time.
Even if you are not currently thinking about selling your home, it is useful to have a comparative market evaluation prepared. And when it’s free, with no obligation, why not take advantage of it?
