Journal of Property Tax Assessment & Administration
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide immediate guidance for dealing with foreclosure-related sales. The use of foreclosure-related sales in determining market value is a critical problem facing assessing professionals, tax policy makers, and others. In the past foreclosure-related sales generally were excluded from market modeling, comparable sales analysis, and sales ratio studies because they were typically made under some duress and the volume was usually insignificant. However, conditions in the current market in many areas of the United States and elsewhere are such that it is important to take a closer look at the validity of the sales.
