An increase of$138,400 far exceeds average market appreciation rates in Orange <br /> Co. Property value appreciation in most residential markets has been more gradual and rarely <br /> exceeds 10-15%annually in stable markets. Furthermore, a review of tax records indicates that <br /> similar or even superior properties in nearby communities are assessed much lower, in the <br /> range of$250,000 to $280,000. <br /> • 700 Market Street, #217 sold for$287,000 in June 2024. It has almost the exact same square <br /> footage(745) and is a 1 bedroom 1 bath unit,just like ours. <br /> • As noted in the informal appeal, we have made no improvements since buying the property, <br /> other than a new water heater. All the systems in the house such as the HVAC is original. <br /> Evidence submitted by the county representative: <br /> • The property is a 750 square foot, one bedroom, 1.5 bath condominium in the Copperline <br /> Square Development in the Southern Village area of Chapel Hill. The home sold previously in <br /> June 2022 for$267,000. There have been no other similar sales in the subject development <br /> since 2022. <br /> • As a result, the County performed a sales and equity analysis with similar sales from other <br /> condominium developments in Southern Village from 2023 and 2024. See attached. <br /> • As a result of this analysis,the County recommends applying an E02 economic market <br /> adjustment to the subject property's overall value which would reduce the current value to <br /> $320,200, which is in range of both the sales prices and assessed values of these similar sales. <br /> • GIS Map <br /> • Current Property Record Card <br /> • Proposed Property Record Card <br /> • Sales and Equity Analysis <br /> Motion of the Board I Accept Count 's Proposed Value: $320,200 <br />
