It seems that once a new home goes on the tax roll the initial tax value is about 20-25% less than the new purchase price. If you see a large disparity then you want to find out why. Perhaps they added on or did some improvements. Or it may be overpriced. Always compare the same "new" construction villa with what you are looking. Then ask why is there is difference...and is it justified.
