So where does TCAD get their sales prices for comps if they aren't allowed to use MLS data? I can go on Redfin or such and see the "last list price" for all sales in my area and this has worked on previous protests to get TCAD to use more favorable comps for me. And when I got their evidence package, the prices I had matched theirs. But in this world of people offering over list, do they just make up shit?
I'm supposed to get my informal call tomorrow and my only angle is for them to use comps closer to me since the build specs changed drastically as the neighborhood was built out. This has worked in the past, but now I don't know how to get actual sales prices without the help of a realtor.
Any insight is appreciative. After my online protest, the automated counter went from 1.04M to 0.95M. I might get another 50k out of them tomorrow...won't change the tax bill of course...
