Why does my market value change if I have made no improvements to my property?
Trends in the real estate market due to local economic conditions, interest rates, and supply / demand influence the value of property. The Assessor’s Office studies the real estate market each year. When properties sell for more each year, the assessor is required to adjust the values accordingly. Estimated market values can also be decreased if the real estate market shows sale prices are going down.
