<blockquote><a href="http://www.AnacostiaRiverRealty.com"></a></blockquote>
When buying or selling a home, you sure learn alot of new words. ARM, loan limits, adjustments, mortgage interest adjustment, buyer agency….the list doesn’t end. However, there are two terms that you will always hear which you need to pay attention to: Appraisal and Assessment. These processes are a must to complete a home purchase and are often deciding factors for buyers and sellers. William Tierney, an associate at William Raveis Scituate , provides and explanation, as well as a contrast between the two terms. For more of William’s awesome advice, check out his blog.
Appraisal and assessment values are typically mistaken for one another. As a home buyer or home seller, it is helpful to understand the difference between these two terms. The following is the difference between appraisal and assessment values.
Definition Of Asessment Values
Towns and cities charges a tax on residential homes. The calculation of the tax is derived from a percentage multiplied by an assessed value of a piece of property. Assessments are used strictly for levying taxes and does not actually reflect the real estate market condition. Every municipality calculates assessed value using different formulas. They usually include land area, interior living area, and exterior amenities such as garages. Marshfield, MA, the area where I live and work, can re-assess home values and/or increase the property tax percentage at regular intervals.
Definition Of Appraisal Values
An appraisal is a estimation of a home’s market value by a licensed professional employing specialized methodologies. Lenders obtain the services of appraisers to determine the value of a home as opposed to to the sale price. Appraisers always review at least three other houses that recently sold within the same city. Since a town or city’s real estate market can change constantly within a time frame, comparing relevant sales is vital to a valid appraisal.
The Difference Between Appraisal And Asessment Values
The actual price of a home is ascertained by what a buyer is willing to pay, which can adjust at any time depending on related factors such as availability of options. Buyers should avoid relating assessed values with the price of real estate. Assessed values are used only for tax purposes and do not adjust as often as the real estate market does. Some towns infrequently change assessed values and regularly increase tax percentages instead. Only an appraisal can generate a true indication of the market price of a home.

Davis with Congress Heights on The Rise blogger Nikki Peele and r.e.e.l. member Troy Donte Prestwood)<br /> <br /><br />A few years ago, Marlon Ray couldn’t imagine buying a home in southeast Washington D.C. after hearing about the crime and poverty associated with the section of the city. This changed on Feb. 21 when Ray moved into a house in Congress Heights that he discovered and purchased through a Ward 8 real estate company.<br /><br />Like many people, Ray based his initial perceptions of southeast on what the news reported and the conversations he heard about the high crime rate in the area. For the past three years up to his move into Congress Heights, Ray had been commuting an hour and a half from his Fredericksburg, Va. home to his job at Orr Elementary School on Minnesota Avenue SE. Although he worked in southeast, he had never thought about what the area had to offer until he met Darrin Davis.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">ANACOSTIA RIVER REALTY</span>:<span style="font-style:italic;"> Fine EAST OF THE RIVER Living.</span><br />http://www.AnacostiaRiverRealty.com<br />2412 Minnesota Ave. SE Suite 204<br />Washington, DC 20020<br />202-678-REAL (7325)ANACOSTIA RIVER REALTYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10000707340830197426noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469204873421862177.post-77423277468341583472011-03-18T09:45:00.001-04:002011-03-18T09:47:58.238-04:00Anacostia River Realty's Sunday Open House<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/KbzookrbHgM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />2108 16th St. SE, Washington, DC, 20020, 2pm-4pm.<br /><br /><br />ANACOSTIA RIVER REALTY: EAST OF THE RIVER Living.<br />http://www.AnacostiaRiverRealty.com<br />2412 Minnesota Ave. SE Suite 101<br />Washington, DC 20020<br />202-678-REAL (7325)ANACOSTIA RIVER REALTYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10000707340830197426noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469204873421862177.post-57849814098971440812011-02-20T20:45:00.008-05:002011-02-20T21:05:08.786-05:00Anacostia River Realty screens HGTV episode filmed in Historic Anacostia<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-birj0zpEglM/TWHFqoL9mjI/AAAAAAAAARY/CER3GV01LFE/s1600/hgtv_logo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 225px; height: 144px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-birj0zpEglM/TWHFqoL9mjI/AAAAAAAAARY/CER3GV01LFE/s320/hgtv_logo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575955149794155058" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">WASHINGTON, D.C.</span> (February 18, 2011) --- Anacostia River Realty, the Ward 8 real estate firm featured in the D.C. episode of HGTV’s My First Sale, is pleased to host a public screening of the episode, Friday, February 25, 6pm - 9pm at Big Chair Coffee & Grill, located at 2122 MLK Jr. Ave, SE. The screening coincides with Anacostia River Realty’s Second Year Anniversary Celebration, with special guests, the stars of the award-winning soap opera Anacostia - The Series.<br /><br /><br />HGTV’s casting of Historic Anacostia is further confirmation of the neighborhood’s new status as the “next big thing” in community revitalization. Residents are filled with pride, new businesses are opening, and visitors are discovering the community’s rich history and potential.<br /><br /><br />For Darrin Davis, owner of Anacostia River Realty, this has been a labor of love. “Since I moved to Historic Anacostia and started selling exclusively in neighborhoods East of the River in 2002, it was always a dream to open up a real estate firm that specialized in this community. The way the community has embraced us has been amazing. One of my goals in starting Anacostia River Realty was to help change the perception of neighborhoods East of the River. Since the airing of the HGTV episode, we are getting calls not only from people from the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, but from potential residents, investors, and developers around the country who are interested in investing responsibly in our community. HGTV coming to Historic Anacostia was another validation that we're moving in the right direction. This viewing party is my way of saying ‘thanks’ to the community.” <br /><br />To be added to the guest list contact: rsvp@anacostiariverrealty.com or (202) 678-7325 x 500. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">About Anacostia River Realty</span><br />Anacostia River Realty (http://www.anacostiariverrealty.com/) formalizes residential, development, and commercial real estate transactions.

Later, a pair of elderly sisters come in for a late lunch, plunk down pictures and talk about their grandchildren. <br /><br /><br />It could be a midday scene from any of U Street's chic hipster joints or an Adams Morgan eatery. But what makes the scene unusual is where it's happening: in Anacostia, a long-neglected area of the city where, until recently, residents' entertainment and retail options were few. <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />ANACOSTIA RIVER REALTY</span>: EAST OF THE RIVER Living.<br />http://www.AnacostiaRiverRealty.com<br />2412 Minnesota Ave. SE Suite 204<br />Washington, DC 20020<br />202-678-REAL (7325)ANACOSTIA RIVER REALTYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10000707340830197426noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469204873421862177.post-7094651800060712682011-02-02T18:35:00.002-05:002011-02-02T18:42:30.854-05:00Anacostia River Realty hosts viewing party for HGTV episode!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OyNooSAI7-w/TUnq5qUn_6I/AAAAAAAAARA/IR1EviprK2k/s1600/Darrin%2BDavis%2BInvite.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 161px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OyNooSAI7-w/TUnq5qUn_6I/AAAAAAAAARA/IR1EviprK2k/s320/Darrin%2BDavis%2BInvite.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569240690554568610" /></a><br /><br />You're invited!
