Preparing to buy, sell, or refinance a home? It’s important to understand the worth of the property. But there’s more than one way to determine the value. In fact, there are two primary measurements of value to be aware of here: house assessed value vs. market value. Assessed value is the home’s value come tax time, while fair market value is the cost to purchase a home in that area. Each type of valuation has its own purpose: one applies to property taxes, and the other to resale value.
