Market vs. assessed value
GRAND OPENING
Property owners throughout B.C. received their 2012 assessment notice the ¿rst week of January from BC Assessment (BCA). This notice is BC Assessment’s estimate of a property’s value as of July 1, 2011, and for new construction or substantially renovated homes, the physical condition as of Oct. 31, 2011. BCA is the government agency responsible for determining and reporting property value estimates for the 1,917,394 properties in its database. BCA’s assessment and the market value determined by a realtor may be different. Why? According to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, both BCA assessors and realtors calculate market value by analyzing sales of comparable homes within a local

market, and look at factors that affect value such as size of home, view, location – on a busy or quiet street, number of bedrooms, construction quality, Àoor level, and garage or parking stalls. Where every lot and every home on a street are typically the same, both BCA’s value and a realtor’s value will be similar during stable market conditions. Differences occur in neighbourhoods where lots have been rezoned or are different shapes and sizes, where architecture and views are unique, and where owners have made changes that BCA hasn’t yet taken into account. Differences also occur during market instability when prices rise or fall during the six-month period between July 1 and Jan. 1 the following year.
