Book Description

Publication Date: August 1997

Now you can generate fast and unbelievably accurate property valuations with this new and easy-to-use method called "TaxCMA". The book titled "Price It Right For Profit" shows you how. Optional software is available that runs on DOS and WINDOWS. The TaxCMA gives a great advantage to any agent, buyer, seller or investor that uses it.

Developed by The HOUGH Company, Inc. This method is so unique and accurate it was granted a patent - almost unheard of for a software program. The TaxCMA determines the market value of the subject property using an assessment/sales data comparison. Simply plug in the required data and it will calculate the appraised value and show market trends pinpointing underpriced and overpriced homes.

The Wall Street Journal put the TaxCMA to the test on September 26, 1997. The TaxCMA quickly calculated the value for a home in California from 3,000 miles away! What other real estate analysis can do that? The TaxCMA is fast, easy and accurate for calculating real estate values!

Working with established appraisal companies, the TaxCMA has hit the value on many difficult appraisals. State-of-the-art Realtors around the country use the TaxCMA.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Author touts formula for full proof pricing of any home" -- Chicago Tribune

"It works!... There's definitely a relationship between what a house sells for and its assessed value." -- Bryant Parker, Guaranteed Sales Program Manager, Long & Foster Realtors, one of the east coast's Largest firms

"One of the most difficult things for any seller is pricing a home properly. Too high and it won't sell; too low and you lose money. But John Hough... has come up with a relatively simple mathematical formula that will allow owners as well as their agents to determine just the right asking price. Hough's patented valuation procedure is based on local property tax assessments. ...presto - you'll know what you should be asking. Under Hough's formula you won't have to make any adjustments for things like age, quality of construction, square footage and lot size..." -- Lew Sichelman, Syndicated Columnist Featured in: The Sacramento Bee, The Houston Chronicle, The Journal-Friday Home Report, Macomb Daily, Chicago Tribune, Orlando Sentinal and more.

"TO TEST THE Web sites, the Journal evaluated a newly sold house chosen at random in Kensington, Calif., a Bay Area suburb...The house--a 10-room Spanish-style stucco built in 1943--sold in August for $348,500, the full asking price. TaxCMA software-driven, tax-based comparative market analysis (TaxCMA)." -- The Wall Street Journal
