The subject properties are a combination of a new manufactured home built in 2020 on one account and a new 600 square foot detached garage also built in 2020,yard improvements, and land on the other account. The home is unique as it is located on water front property in Turner surrounded by a combination of a few manufactured homes but mostly single family homes, and is not located in a manufactured home park. The petitioner is requesting the county reduces the values on the home and garages to more closely match the purchase price of the home plus the improvements made to the land and addition of the garage. The petitioner is requesting a land value of$60,000 and structure values of $300,000 for a total Real Market Value of$360,000. During the review process,the county realized it placed a trend adjustment on the subject properties for manufactured homes located in mobile parks,which is seeing significant increases in values, rather than a trend adjustment of manufactured homes located in residential, non-mobile park areas. The different trend value caused the subject properties accounts Real Market Values to be overvalued on the home, garage,and yard improvements. The county was able to find comparable sales of similar manufactured homes with comparable design elements, interior features, bedroom and bathroom count and each built in 2020. Comps 1-3 are all located in the Lakeside Village Manufactured Home Park located roughly 5 miles from the subject property and located near water. Their average sizes is 600 square feet smaller than the subject home and have an average adjusted sales price of$181,800. - -- -Basedonthe data and the comps,the county recommends we change the neighborhood trend from SOCO.MS to SOCO.AVG on both accounts which will lower the RMV on the home,garage,and yard improvements to better match the market. This adjustment will lower the RMV of the home from $346,140 to$188,800,which more closely matches the comparable sales. The adjustment will also lower the garage RMV from$81,350 to$44,380 and the yard improvements RMV from$33,000 to $18,000 which is also more in-line with similar values of garages and yard improvements in this area. Based on land sale studies,the county recommends the land value should be sustained. In conclusion, based on these recommendations, the total RMV for both accounts will be lowered from $553,340 to$344,030 which is similar to the petitioners requested value. The MAV on both accounts will also be lowered from a total of$329,410 to a total of$204,800 with a new Exception value of $204,800 for both accounts.
