Building a Racine case
Averages explain why a case might work. The decision turns on evidence about one property. In a smaller or rural market, sales can be sparse. Explain why each sale you use still compares with your home.
- Use a recent arm's length sale of your home, an appraisal, or sales of comparable homes. The complainant must give the board all information within their knowledge that affects the property.
