Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — RSMo 137.115(5)(1) assesses real property by subclass as a percentage of true value in money: residential 19%, agricultural and horticultural 12%, and utility, industrial, commercial and all other 32%. This entry uses the residential rate. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
