1.1% property tax rate (median estimate)

Calculation is (Start Value *1.07^(YearNbr) - StartValue * 1.03^(YearNbr)-exclusion) * propertytaxrate

Savings differential yearly with and without SOH exclusion:
Year Savings
1 $700
2 $873
3 $1,059
4 $1,263
5 $1,487
6 $1,730
7 $1,997
8 $2,288
9 $2,605
10 $2,949
Yes, there is value in the SOH benefit. That still is not what the OP asked.

Does the table show actual savings with your home or simply calculated from your 7%/3%/10%? My actual values are different (though the averages might work out the same) I only have data going back five years to when my home values began to reflect my purchase of the home (before that the values were calculated against the previous owner).

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
