The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual sales data and current market signals. Right now, that means your home's real-world value is likely ahead of what the city has on file.

With values up 1.06% recently and the current price tracking above the 3-month average, waiting for your next tax assessment to understand what your home is worth is like checking last year's weather forecast before heading outside. Check your HonestDoor Price now - it's the number that actually reflects today's market.

The So What - Should You Sell This Summer?

On top of that, the rental numbers here are solid. Estimated rent is $1,649 per month with a rental yield of 5.93%.
