An Appraisal is:
Estimate or opinion of value based on supportable evidence and approved methods
- For the buyer and the bank
The Appraisal Process:
CMA - (not an appraisal but similar)
BPO - Broker's Price Opinion (similar to CMA)
--> Not professional appraisals
An appraiser verifies market, doesn't determine value per se
The Appraisal Process (cont):
- An orderly set of procedures, analysis and data.
1) General data: Neighborhood, region etc, social, political influences etc affecting value
2) Specific data: Details of property and costs, sales, income, expenses of similar properties
Value - property must have 4 characteristics
DUST
Demand -
Utility - usefulness for intended purpose
Scarcity - finite supply
Transferability - ease of transferring ownership rights
Market Value vs. Market Price:
Market Value: reasonable opinion based on data analysis for most probable price
Market Price: Actual selling price
Basic Principles of Value:
- Anticipation
- Change
- Competition
- Conformity
- Contribution
- Highest and Best Use
- Plottage
- Regression and Progression
- Substitution
Change - Real Estate subject to natural phenomena
Highest and Best Use (HABU) - most profitable or in demand use of a property, is analyzed in order by PLEM
- Physically possible
- Legally permitted
- Economically Feasible
- Most profitable
Plottage - When 2 plots adjacent of land together have greater value than separate
Regression & Progression (Twin principles) - Neighboring properties either decrease or increase value of that in question (good house in bad hood and vice versa)
3 basic valuation techniques used:
- Sales Comparison Approach (market data approach)
- Cost Approach
- Income Approach
Sales Comparison Approach (market data approach)
- Comparable properties, location, prop rights etc (houses)

Cost Approach
- Based on substitution i.e. how much to rebuild:
--> Using: Square foot method / unit-in-place / quantity survey (materials) / Index method
**Used for non-profits i.e. Schools, Churches

Depreciation
- Physical deterioration - curable
- Functional Obsolescence i.e. incurable design/features where cost of repair/change > addition to value
- External Obsolescence - external factors cause depreciation i.e. factory, noise, crap hood
Income Approach
- Used for retail / stores / offices etc
- **Know formula for value: Income / Rate = Value (draw in circle)
Gross Rent Multiplier (GRM)
Gross Income Multiplier (GIM)
Used for appraisal where rent = income such as an apt
(as well as commercial where other income also factors)
**Look at formulas
Reconciliation
