The essessment value is market value of a house?? or it could be less or more when comes to buy or selling?
ReplyDeleteNot really you can`t just rely on assessment value. As it is assessed as of July of previous year, Market trends can change in 6 months after it is assessed. New assessed value is sent to home owners in January, its always best to have a Real Estate Agent in your corner when evaluating property for buying or selling.
DeleteAnd yes it could be less or more when it comes to buying or selling.
