Market Value vs Assessed Value - What's the Difference? - 9/15/2026

Market value reflects what buyers may pay in today's market, while assessed value is used by local taxing authorities to help calculate property taxes.
Debbie Benjamin CRS, ABR, GRI, SRES RE/MAX Gateway Anacortes, WA (360) 708-8780 5224 After 40 years in real estate, I’ve learned that every deal comes with two things: paperwork and surprises. I can’t make the paperwork disappear (unfortunately), but I can handle the surprises—whether it’s a tricky negotiation, a finicky inspector, or a last-minute hiccup on closing day. Growing up in La Conner means I know these neighborhoods like the back of my hand—and sometimes better than Google Maps. If you want a Realtor who combines experience, integrity, and just enough humor to keep things light when the process gets heavy, I’m your agent.
