“Sixty-six percent of people under the age of 46 are routinely looking online to see how much their friends’ houses are worth. This makes them stressed, concerned, and upset. While it’s natural to compare yourself to others, and even envy what they have, you’re better off not looking at the home valuation sites to find out how much your pals have paid for their house. Buy or rent the nicest place you can comfortably afford at the moment and enjoy it… because there’s certainly someone out there who wishes they could afford to have what you have!”

Asking about the property's tax assessment and recent tax history is important when buying a home for several reasons. A few reasons include:

🏠Financial Planning: Understanding the property's tax assessment allows you to estimate your ongoing expenses as a homeowner. Property taxes can vary significantly depending on the location and the assessed value of the property. By knowing the tax assessment, you can factor it into your budget and determine if you can comfortably afford the property.

🏠Property Value Assessment: The tax assessment provides insight into how the local government values the property for taxation purposes.
