Is there a reason my home’s assessed value differs compared to the market value?

August 20, 2021 by Gary Cardillo

A public tax assessor gives the assessed value for a property. This assessment typically occurs yearly for taxation purposes. The fair market value is an agreed-upon price between a willing buyer and seller. There is usually a difference between the assessed value and market value. For homeowners, the assessed value is a double-edged sword. Because, if their annual assessed value increased then their yearly taxes will also be raised.
On the flip side, when selling a house it can help boost its market value. To get a market value, Individuals can purchase an appraisal on their own or hire a real estate agent to perform a comparative market analysis. You may want to do this if you’re thinking about selling and want to know how much to list the property for, or have your eye on a home for sale and are curious if it’s a fair price.
As a homeowner, there are many reasons to know your market value. For example, if you bought a home several years ago and the value increased, you have more home equity. You can leverage this to qualify for refinancing or secure a home equity loan.
When it comes to assessed value, you might wonder what happens if you live in an area where the housing market is hot and homes are selling for far more than they’re worth. After all, that’s not exactly fair to homeowners who don’t want to sell and are stuck with the rising tax bill. The good news is that many states and municipalities have laws in place to prevent property taxes from jumping along with inflated property values.
As always, I am here to help you figure out the best value for your home in this market or if you have any questions feel free to reach out. Gary Cardillo 941.676.1008
