The simple answer here is yes, but like most things, the devil is in the details. Houses often sell above their assessed value, especially if we're talking about tax assessments (which tend to be less than market value). Additionally, noone can tell a person that they may not pay too much of their own money for something, including real estate. The trouble comes when you start trying to finance the purchase, as lenders generally decide how much they are willing to lend based on their assessment of the property's value. And while it seems a bit cold, there is also question of why a person would pay more than the market value of a property, just so the current owner could pay debts.
