Home values
How the City has assessed property in Cofer, 2022–2026.
Of Cofer's $25M in assessed-value growth since 2022, about 3% ($706K) is new construction: new buildings and major projects. The rest is the City reassessing existing property at higher values. How we tell construction from reassessment →
Typical home is the median change across the 252 homes assessed in both 2022 and 2026 — half rose by more, half by less. Growth rank places Cofer among the 133 Richmond neighborhoods with at least 50 such homes (1 = fastest growth).
