For the first time since being invented a single wide mobile home has increased in value, at least according to your office. And not just a little increase in value but a whooping 168 percent! That kind of increase simply isn't credible. Even the revised amount of $18,338 (a 103% increase) isn't credible for a DEPRECIATING ASSET. No one would pay $24,120 (or even $18,338) for a 21 year old mobile home (with problems) when a brand new unit of similar size and finish would run $25-30,000 delivered and installed, with factory warranties! The salesmen don't like selling them since there is almost n0 commission, but the factories do build them. Since the county doesn't publish access to mobile home sales data the way that real property sales data is published, it is not possible to present market data to support my position that your office has inflated the value of my mobile home. Hmm, might make a good test case... However, considering that the N.A.D.A. numbers are based on actual sales, as reported to the state, their numbers are based in reality. In researching the numbers for this letter I notice an interesting pattern: 1st valuation $24-26,000; 1st revised valuation $11-18,000; Final valuation $0,000 (except for the one year that was $11,0O0 I didn't think $2,000 was worth the extra round of protestation). I suggest that fair market value of the mobile home in question was $8,500.00 on June 30, 2016. I've also gone to the N.A.D.A. web site and according to their data the mobile home in question is only worth $7,311 today. Their report attached. Property Owner Paul N.
