The assessor's market value.
05How to find high value ($500k+) in 3 steps
- Step 1, find the record: the assessor's market value.
- Step 2, match it to the property: join the record to the parcel by its parcel number and the owner's name and address, so you know which house it belongs to.
- Step 3, add a second reason: stack high value ($500k+) with another list to see which owners have more than one reason to sell. LeadCounty does steps 1 and 2 for every property each week.
06How we count it
LeadCounty counts high value ($500k+) from each county's own records and shows the number for every county in the table above, refreshed weekly. A county that does not publish the record shows no count rather than a guess.
07How to use it
- Combine with likely to sell for a luxury farm list.
08Best stacks with high value ($500k+)
One list gives you a reason; two or three lists together give you owners with several reasons at once. The stacks that work best with high value ($500k+):
- High value ($500k+) + likely to sell: the score already ranks the owner in the top 20% of the county.
- High value ($500k+) + owned 15+ years: 15+ years of ownership usually means paid-down debt and real equity.
