Whether you are selling a home or buying one, you are going to want to know the value of the home so that you can determine selling price or if the sale price is appropriate. But what you may not be aware of is that there are 3 different types of home values. It may be confusing to you when trying to determine what the true value of the home is. Let us break it down for you so that you will understand the 3 types of home values and what they mean.
The assessed value is the assigned dollar value of your home used by local tax assessors to determine property taxes. Tax assessors calculate assessed value based on various factors, which may include the appraised value and the fair market value, as well as any home improvements, whether you generate income from the property, and any tax exemptions. The assessor will give you a figure that is commonly a percentage of what they perceive the value to be. Because property taxes are based upon assessed value, ideally, this figure will be lower. It should be close to your actual market value, but frequently it is not.
When you are refinancing or purchasing a house, an appraiser will be hired to determine the value of the house in question. They will use the same process that real estate professionals use to determine the fair market value. A licensed appraiser will consider the location, size, and condition of the home along with any renovations that have been completed. They will walk through the home and compare it to others with similar amenities and improvements in the area that have sold. Most appraisals will include a construction or replacement cost that is used for insurance purposes.
Fair market value is what a home is worth based on the current market climate. It encompasses how a home looks to prospective buyers compared to other homes in the area. It takes into consideration the sale prices of homes that are similar (same number of bedrooms, square footage etc.) A real estate agent will start by looking at “comps” to figure out what buyers have been willing to pay for properties comparable to yours. Other things that help determine fair market value are whether it is a seller’s or buyer’s market and how much inventory is available.
Because these different types of values can be subjective, it is vital to make sure you are looking at a comprehensive overview when trying to determine the value of the home you are selling or buying. An experienced Realtor like Sandra Nickel can assist you with this process by providing a comparative market analysis.

Don’t have a green thumb? Don’t despair! You can still create a lovely garden with plants that are hearty and resilient.
With the end of February fast approaching, you may already be experiencing some spring fever. It’s never too early to start preparing for spring planting in your garden. Whether you are planting for the first time, or you have been gardening for years, the desired result is a healthy, bountiful, gorgeous bed of flowers and plants.
For maximum results with minimal effort, here are some plants and flowers that will hold up to almost any conditions:
This rugged herb is great for beginning gardeners. It spreads easily, so if you want to keep it from sprawling across your beds, consider planting it in a container. For culinary purposes, think about what you will be using it for before choosing the type of mint you grow. For example, peppermint would be great for hot tea, but spearmint is a better choice for a summer cocktail. Of course, there is no rule saying you can’t have both!
Native to Australia, this pretty, low maintenance plant will stand up to heat without withering. Enjoy the lovely purple flowers, also known as “fan flowers”, cascading from baskets or window boxes.
One of the easiest plants to grow, these are a great choice for any garden; just be sure there aren’t any deer or slugs lurking about because they enjoy eating them! There are many varieties to choose from with a large range of colors to suit your taste.
There are good reasons that Geraniums are the number one selling annual; you can get them in an abundant rainbow of colors, and they can withstand a lot of heat with limited water. While they are annuals in many areas, they are perennials in Montgomery (Zone 8A) meaning they will come back each year.
Found in a variety of colors including white, pink, and purple, these beautiful blooms are the perfect accent plant. There is a specific variety called “Imagination” that is particularly hearty and will survive in hot conditions.
Truly hard to kill, this trailing vine can be found in shades of purple and lime green. It flourishes in the heat of summer and grows in both sunny and shady spots. An awesome ground cover, it will spread from 4 to 6 feet.
These are just a sampling of plants and flowers that will thrive under most conditions. So, if your lack of a green thumb has you thinking you can’t have a beautiful, healthy garden, think again! These plants will have your flower beds looking spectacular this spring!
