New Listing – 4207 W. 124th Street, Savage 55378 - 02/17/10 03:16 PM

Dakota County Home Sales Analysis - January 2010 - 02/07/10 09:00 AM

For the past couple months I've been doing analysis within Dakota County to compare the final selling price of homes sold to their tax assessed value to see if there were some common numbers that could be found to help buyers and sellers to get some rough estimates of home value.  In November I looked at single-family homes that were not bank-owned or short sales and found that those homes were selling for about 90% of their Dakota County 2009 tax value.
