What homes are worth (to the tax man)
The tax man's 2024 median value is $473,000 — across all home types. For comparison, detached homes are now selling for a rolling median of $562,354 (12 months to May 2026) — well above that.
Assessed values are mass-appraised for taxation — directional, not a sale price or appraisal. A gap to actual sales is normal: the 2024 roll lags today's market, and the sale figure above is detached homes only — a step up from the all-types assessment. For what's trading now, see the market below.
