Does anyone know how to find out what the market value of your house is in Central Florida? Does anyone know a website to find out?

Default hi

Realtors provide this service free of charge to our customers. It is called a CMA, (comparative market anaylsis). We use this tool not only for sellers when determining the value of a house, but also for buyers so as to ascertain the value of a potential home. There are a number of variables and the software we use allows us to make compensations for various factors including st footage, whether a home has a pool or not, etc etc.

Default hi

No its not. typically, it is usually approx 80% but this can vay depending on the market and what a property is being sold for. If you are looking at purchasing a property (which your question seems to imply from trying to obtain tax info) i would strongly suggest using a realtor, because if you have a property in mind a realtor can do a CMA for you to make sure your not paying too much, but we can also see what the taxes on the property were for the previous year. This is subject to re-assessment for following years. However, BEWARE. If you are looking at buying a new build, then the taxes will not be correct because they will be based on unimproved land, not land with a building on it at that properties particular value.

Default Zillow.com

Try Zillow - Real Estate Valuations, Homes for Sale, Free Real Estate Information for a quick comparison of house values in your (or any other) area. Assessed value and market value are not the same thing.

I have found Zillow o be a poor reflection of the market value when I have used it. The best bet is to ask an agent to take a look. We really do it free. Another source would be your county property appraiser. Some counties will show you what sold in the area which can give you an idea of the prices that homes are actually selling for. Most of the realtors have web sites you can search to see whats available. If you have an idea of value, see what that amount of money can buy in your area. if the competition is less than your home yours is worth more, if not, the opposite is true. I would tell you my website but that would be advertising and its a no-no on this site. :-) google a realtors name ... like john doe orlando realtor and you will likely find them.
Remember value is often subjective and you may have a more vested interest when you look at your home. thinking in ranges is safer. Value mainly comes down to what someone is willing to pay and little more.

Good Luck

I second AONEs assessment of zillow. People should be VARY cautious if they go to that site. Just take a look at the Discussion forums. That place is a law suit waiting to happen.
