About the Value of Your Home
The County Tax Records provide limited information about the value of your home such as:
- square footage and number of levels
- the year built
- the lot size
- parking arrangements
- existence of a pool.
Undoubtedly there are features and upgrades in your home the County Records could not possibly know about. To more accurately determine the value of your home tell us about them in the optional area below.
More Important Information
There are concepts appraisers and real estate agents agree about. For example, it’s commonly understood value is based upon the average of 3-4 properties. To determine the value of your home the best comparable sales are:
* located within the same subdivision
* built by the same or similar quality builder
* sold in the last 3 months (6 months is OK in a stable and slow moving market, but 3-4 months is used in rapidly changing markets)
* within 20% of the building and lot size
* containing similar features
* built within +/- 10 years of the subject property
It’s also generally understood that, if there are no homes in the same subdivision of comparable quality, it’s acceptable to go outside your subdivision within 1 mile. Going further than 1 mile requires justification.
