This sounds so obvious that I see no downside. The a very good estimate of the value of a property is the price it last sold for.

Even so! This is usually closer than the assessor estimate! Assessor estimates are wildly off, mine by nearly $400k, or more than 60% of the total value.

That is nuts. I wish the assessors in my state were that incompetent :)
