But First, Brunch.
June 2, 2016
Working in real estate, we always get asked multiple questions in regards to the sales prices versus the assessed values of homes. Some questions we often hear include, 'What does the tax evaluation mean to my home? What does it have to do with the purchase and listing price? What does this mean in regards to how much my home is worth? How do I take all of this information into consideration?' And so on.
To help answer these questions, we crunched data from NEREN in order to compile the information below which shows the difference in actual sales price versus tax evaluation in the 5 key markets of Rockingham County. As you can see from the list, depending on the town, house size, and upgrades, there can be a huge price difference in homes.
North Hampton
Between 2014 and 2016, North Hampton has had a large amount of activity in both buying and selling and over 50 homes sold within a 2 year period. Below, you can see the differences between the assessed total value and the sale price at time of closing. With 35 homes sold in 2015 compared to only 11 in 2014, there has been a major increase in buying and selling real estate. As of May 2016, 2 homes have been sold, both with a higher sale price than the total assessed value.
