Neighborhood Sales Search

By keying in a street address, you will be able to view all qualified sales over the past three years, (sales from 2007, 2008 and 2009), within the selected property’s neighborhood. The 2007 and 2008 qualified sales were used in helping establish 2009 Reappraisal values, within their respective area, as of January 1, 2009. Qualified sales for 2009 have been added to the sales search to reflect market conditions since the 2009 Reappraisal and may be used as evidence of value for the 2010 appeals process.

The Tennessee Division of Property Assessments requires the Assessor to qualify each sale, as it occurs to ensure that it is an arm’s-length transaction. In other words, a team of appraisers makes sure the sales contained in the Assessor’s qualified sales file reflect a transaction between two unrelated parties, both seeking to maximize their position. Examples of sales that are not considered arm’s-length transactions are foreclosures and sales among family members.

Our appraisers compared these 2007 and 2008 qualified sales to properties of similar description to ensure the Reappraisal values reflect current market conditions as of January 1, 2009. Neighborhoods are defined by our appraisal staff as geographic areas of properties of similar size, age and location.

In our effort to continually improve our Web site and our service to property owners, you may now customize your sales search results by ranges of sales date, sales price, square footage and year built. We have also added a Neighborhood Map and Profile that provides details of the selected neighborhood’s physical characteristics and sales activity.
