Residential
Real Estate Appraising …… Let us hear from you.
The appraisal of one’s home or land is sometimes
misunderstood. In performing an appraisal, the appraiser is simply
looking for market value—defined as the most probable price
which a property should bring in a competitive and open market. The
appraiser estimates or provides an opinion of the current market
value by comparing some of the most recent (but past) real estate
market sales to the home or land being appraised. The best comparable
market
sales are those which are closest in proximity—same neighborhood,
subdivision or marketing area. Some other areas
of
comparison are age, condition, size (heated sq. ft.), construction
quality (brick, interior upgrades, etc.), design & appeal (ranch,
2 story, etc.), utility (bedrooms, baths,etc.) and other value related
factors such as garage, acreage/lot size, porches, pools or other
special features. Adjustments are then made for these value differences
between the home or land being appraised and the best comparable
market sales -- resulting in an estimate or opinion of market
value.
There is no scientific, mathematical or appraisal formula used to
estimate
market value - it is simply the appraiser’s opinion based on
an objective analysis of the available facts.
