The market here isn't leading the pack - it's taking a breather. But here's the thing: the actual prices are still higher than most of our neighbors.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment
Here's the honest truth about government assessments. They're snapshots from the past. By the time that assessment letter hits your mailbox, the data behind it can be 12 to 18 months old. A lot changes in that time.
The HonestDoor Price is a real-world check updated continuously using current sales data and market signals. Right now, that number for Point Aconi is $341,595. If your tax assessment is sitting below that - and for most of us it probably is - you could be seriously underestimating what your home is actually worth on today's market. That gap between what the government says and what a buyer will actually pay? That's your equity, and you deserve to know about it.
Pull your HonestDoor Price today. It takes two minutes and it gives you a current number, not a stale one.
