The real value is what you can sell the house for, not what the assessment says.

I agree with Mark, why should there be any correlation between assessment and amortization remaining.

This is true, our condo's value is much, much more than our assessment. It's a good thing since it keeps our taxes down a little. I would hate to pay taxes on what our place is actually worth on the market right now!

Im not really sure how a low assessment is a bad thing? I may be missing something though. I am quite new to mortgages
