I am currently renting it and want to ask the landlord about buying it. I just want some rough estimate to see if it's even something I could consider.

Here is the home page for that address. For more value information, call a local agent for the most up to date sales/comps.

You asked whether the appraised value would come in at the assessed value....Generally speaking, most tax assessors values are less than true market value because they don't have the time or resources to fight with every property owner in the county over values.  So, I would expect the appraised value of this property to be higher than the assessed value, dependent on the condition of the property.

Ask a realtor friend/associate to give you an opinion of value.

Property values can be ALL over the board depending on condition, size, amenities, when it may have been updated, so placing value on this home soley based on public information is difficult to rely on.  An appraisal or a realtor who has physically inspected the home inside and out will best be able to inform you.

As a lender, I have access to an automated appraisal system which gives the following information on this and neighboring properties:
SUBJECT
1642 N Columbia 3Br 1 B  824 Sq ft. sold last sold in '92 for $38,000
SOLD
1497 Columbia Circle 3Br 1 B  1178 sq ft sold Aug 2011 @ $89900
1631 Columbia Circle 4BR 1B  1040 sq ft sold May 2011 @ $65000
LISTED FOR SALE in Zillow
1674 N Columbia Cir, 3 BR 1B, 1038 sq ft.  LP $149,900
1629 N. Columbia Cir  3BR 2B  1911 sq ft., built in 2007
   fairly new LP $95,900

Your house's Z-estimate is $49,400 (they tend to be conservative) and recent sales of homes 20-25% larger
than yours run from 65-89k....I'd imagine the value should fall somewhere in the mid to hi 50's.

I hope this helps you.

The average sales price for 3 bedrooms within a 1 mile radius is about $30k. You would need to pay for an appraisal to get the value of the particular home you're referring to.

I would suggest you contact a local realtor and ask them about house prices in the neighborhood. You might be able to find something a bit less expensive and you should always look at all your options. You can search for a realtor by pulling down the Professionals tab up top or click on my name or any other realtor and we can give you suggestions/referrals. Or ask your co-workers, friends and family for a name. Best of luck to you.First thing you need to do before you do anything is find out if your can get preapproved to purchase, its always Step One.
Good luck!
