Yes, that's down 7.60% from the previous period - the market is taking a breather. But here's the part worth paying attention to: the predicted market value for houses is $332,118, and that number is climbing above the 3-month moving average of $308,859.

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

Here's the honest truth about government assessments: they are snapshots from the past. By the time that number lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual sales data and current market signals. Right now, that means the predicted value of $332,118 for houses in Port Caledonia is already running ahead of where the static assessment likely has you pegged.

That difference is not just a number on a screen. It's the difference between knowing what your home is actually worth today versus guessing based on data that could be 12 to 18 months old. If you haven't checked your HonestDoor Price recently, this is the moment to do it.

The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

The short-term dip of 7.60% in the average HonestDoor Price is worth noting, but the predicted value climbing to $332,118 above the 3-month moving average suggests that dip is already correcting. Sellers who price smart right now - using the HonestDoor Price as their anchor, not an old assessment - are the ones who won't leave money on the table.

• Rental yield: 5.89% - strong by any measure
• Airbnb potential: roughly $80 to $86 per night
