The appraisal district doesn't value your home to sell it — they value it for taxes. Those are two different jobs, and the comparisons aren't always fair. Our own home in Hawkins was built in 2002 with vinyl siding, the Wood County Appraisal District compared it to brand-new brick home 30 miles away in Winnsboro.

It's not just the appraisal district, either. I've seen agents make the same mistake pricing a home to sell — comparing their client’s home built in 1980 to a brand-new 2 story house right next door, or to a home on the other side of a busy highway, when neither is a fair match. Wrong comparables mean a wrong price, and a wrong price means a home sits on the market waiting for a buyer who's not going to show up, more importantly it will not appraise and the deal will fall through!

Want to know what your home is actually worth? Comment "WORTH" below and I'll send you a real market snapshot — not a computer algorithm, not outdated tax data.
