Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — Pennsylvania has no statewide assessment ratio. Counties assess against their own base years, some decades old, and the State Tax Equalization Board publishes a Common Level Ratio per county each year. Always use the county ratio. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
Common after Upset purchases; often still used after Judicial for resale/title insurance comfort. Local PA counsel recommended.
