Assessed value is used for property taxes and may lag behind current prices. It may also include exemptions or mass-valuation methods. Market value is what a buyer will pay today and changes with supply, demand, condition, upgrades, and interest rates. It is completely normal for the two values to be different.

Your assessed value is not your market value. Your assessed value is typically a fraction of your market value used for calculating your property tax amount.

The assessed value of a home is an estimate that the city/town uses to provide a value to tax the property and other similar in the area. Comparable value uses data based on recent sales in the area within a certain distance, timeframe, and similar features to your property to determine the value your home could sell for on today’s market.
