Tax assessments, Zestimates and even appraisals aren't the true values of homes in most cases.  Comparative Market Analyses are the best way to determine true value.

      A lot of time people don't want their taxes to go up, hence, lower tax values. Comparable sales , are good, but knowing your market, locally, and lending institutions are always the stopper, if the home is not at value. Marilyn is on target with Market analysis
