Interesting article regarding the value of farm land. Farm land valuation is outside of my area of expertise, however, I find the part regarding the correlation to home values interesting. I think that it is far more likely that the declining value farm land could be an indicator that home values could fall. We'll have to keep an eye on that I guess.

I get asked all the time, what's the difference between a tax assessment and an appraisal? An appraisal is a real time analysis of the current value of your home. It is based on several different factors including, sales within your community, square footage of your home, the level of upgrades, land value, number of bedrooms, overall condition of a home, and many others. A market value opinion is based on an analysis of these factors as compared to recent sales within your co...mmunity. An assessment is a percentage value which is determined by local governing bodies. The assessment rate is used to calculate the amount of property taxes an individual is responsible for. The assessment formulas are based on average market values at the time the assessment is conducted. Local governments can conduct updated assessments when market conditions change. This recent article indicates that the Assessor has found market evidence that indicates that the market value of homes has increased at a greater rate than indicated by the current models used to calculate assessed values. When adjustments to the Assessed values are made there will be individuals that may receive assessed values that are much higher than the market value of their property. In these situations Appraisal Pros can help provide supportive evidence of the market value of the property to assist with your tax appeal.
