Text: This 1,834-square-foot home was built in 1958. The exterior is 90-percent vinyl siding and 10-percent masonry veneer. It is occupied by Gary's mother. The assessor's data listed its quality as Average+ and its condition as Average. The 2004 assessed valuation was $100,998. Gary testified that the roof of this home had its original shake shingles, which were badly worn, and that the roof leaked, causing interior water damage. In his opinion, the quality and condition of the home were both fair. In Gary's opinion, the value of the home in 2004 was $63,500, which he characterized as a layman's valuation from seeing other properties of similar homes that age, similar conditions. There was no evidence of other properties specifically considered by Gary in arriving at his valuation. Newell testified that on the basis of her November 2003 inspection of this property, she considered its quality to be average and she agreed with the assessor that its condition was also average. Newell did not express an opinion as to the value of the house in 2004.
