Here’s a fun appraisal fact for today 🏡
The same house can have multiple different values at the exact same time.
In Real Estate Appraisal, value depends on the purpose of the appraisal. That means a property could have:
• Market Value – what it would likely sell for on the open market
• Insurance Value – what it costs to rebuild it
• Tax Assessed Value – what the county uses for property taxes
• Investment Value – what a specific investor thinks it’s worth
So the exact same property might be valued at $420,000 for a sale, $375,000 for taxes, and $500,000 for insurance replacement — all legitimately.
