The average value of homes in Fairfax County, Virginia, increased since last year, and that will likely mean higher real estate tax bills this year, according to a new report. The Fairfax County 2021 real estate assessments report shows that 88% of homes in the county have increased in value on average by about 4.25%. That brings the average home price up to $607,752 this year — compared to last year’s average assessment of $582,976.
According to wtop.com, “The reason for the rise is record low-interest rates and low inventory. That’s good news for those looking to sell their homes at a premium price. Most but not all homes went up in value. While 88% of residential properties saw increased assessments, 4.4% went down and 7.6% stayed where they were. Townhouses and duplexes saw the greatest increase at 5.13%, followed by condominiums at 4.62% and then single-family houses at 4.17%.”
As per wtop.com, “The report notes that during the pandemic, commercial real estate, especially restaurants, retail, and hotels, declined in value because of an increase in vacancies, collection loss and overall market risk. While there is a proposal to reduce the real estate tax rate by a penny this year, that potential reduction will be offset by the assessment increase. So, most people on average will still see a higher tax bill this year.”
