[quote="anon-0n10"]Many homes and businesses have been revalued since 2006. I am just highlighting that zillow is not a good indicator of value nor is a tax assessment. Prior to 2006 my home of 800k was valued with the town at just over 300k.[/quote]

So it makes sense that the value was way off. 2006 reset that. Any revaluations since 2006, either by the Township or at the request of the homeowner, would be even more recent market. Had the market continued to go up in the last 10 years at the same rate it had in the 10 years prior to 2006 the appraisals of most homes would be way off again. But we had a major correction in that time. Now homes in the mid-range (the sweet shot for Cranbury) are again selling for more than the 2006 numbers, but not by a huge margin. Homes in the top of the market have recovered slower and are worth a tad more than the 2006 numbers but not materially. And certainly not over 100% greater.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>anon-0n10</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue, Apr 12 2016, 2:00 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury home $2,600,000 (Nicola Ct.)</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Many homes and businesses have been revalued since 2006. <br /> <br />I am just highlighting that zillow is not a good indicator of value nor is a tax assessment.

Factoring in the market correction starting in 2007, most homes in this particular local market aren't worth more than double their price from then. <br /> <br />2) The upper end of the Cranbury market has been the slowest to recover. <br /> <br />3) Appraisers and realtors are not necessarily good judges of a home value either. Both are notorious for over-valuing. Appraisers use all kinds of adjustments to comps that give them discretion to increase prices. That's exactly what helped create the loan crisis 9 years ago. It's rare they err in the direction of undervaluing. <br /> <br />4) You said Zillow undervalued your home by 20%. These ask prices are over 100% higher. That's more than a bit. <br /> <br />5) The tax appraisals for Cranbury are a decent reflection of the actual value at the time they were done in 2006. Since then the market corrected significantly downward then started recovering, with the high end of the market recovering the least. Can you point to any comp sales in Cranbury for homes over $1MM where the sale price was over 100% greater than the 2006 tax assessment? Or even close?</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>anon-qrs4</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon, Apr 11 2016, 11:12 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury home $2,600,000 (Nicola Ct.)</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Tax values and Zillow are not good estimates.
