How to read these numbers
The value column is a typical home in marketable condition, not an offer and not what a house that needs work will fetch. A house with a failed septic, an oil tank, an open violation, or a tenant who has stopped paying trades well below these figures on the open market. The county line is the median of the town values listed under it.
