What is the difference between sales price and assessed value?
Votes: 0
The selling price of a home is the value placed on it based upon other home sales in the area, condition of the property, and other factors.
The assessed value of a home is estimation used by the city to determine your property taxes. Assessed value has no bearing on the market value or sales price of a property.
