    Study Notes

    Cost Characteristics

    • Cost consists of various components including materials, quality, design, and land.
    • 'Quality' is notably not a direct characteristic of cost.

    Equilibrium in Market

    • Equilibrium represents the point where supply and demand forces meet.

    Effective Tax Rate

    • To compare effective tax rates, consider both the taxable value and tax rate for properties.
    • District B has a lower effective tax rate after calculations based on data provided.

    Indirect Methods of Measuring Depreciation

    • Common indirect methods include the Age-life method and Modified Age-life method.

    Economic Life of Properties

    • The difference between total economic life and remaining economic life is termed effective age.

    Property Appraisal & Sales Data

    • Sale prices and dates are critical when appraising properties, while considering market changes over time.

    Market Demand Influencers

    • Demand can be influenced by consumer expectations and the prices of related goods.

    Supply Influencers

    • Changes in supply may arise from factors like consumer income and the prices of related commodities.

    Parcel Identifiers

    • Parcel identifiers must be unique, permanent, and uniform for linking ownership records and assessment records effectively.

    Lot Valuation Adjustments

    • Property values are adjusted based on location desirability, view, and physical characteristics.

    Adjustment Sequence in Appraising

    • The order of adjustments in sales comparison includes market conditions, financing, location, and physical characteristics.

    Conditions for Property Value

    • For a property to hold value, it must have utility, scarcity, and desirability, influenced largely by supply and demand.

    Principle of Substitution

    • The adjustment process in sales comparison is based on the principle of substitution.

    Time Adjustments in Re-sales

    • Time adjustments can be calculated using past sale prices over a specified time frame to determine the monthly change rate.

    Building Costs

    • The new cost of building improvements considers direct and indirect costs along with land value.

    Methods for Adjustments in Sales Comparison

    • Techniques like paired sales analysis and multiple regression analysis are used to determine market adjustments in sales comparison.

    Valuation of Land

    • Land values can be determined by analyzing comparable sales even when no direct sales are present.

    Desirable Features of Cost Manuals

    • Effective cost manuals should apply to various types of buildings and base calculations on actual costs.

    Cost Estimation Methods

    • Common methods for cost estimation include Comparative Unit and Factored Historic.

    Direct Methods of Measuring Depreciation

    • Direct methods involve the Sales comparison and Age-life methods to assess depreciation.

    Data Collection in Appraisal

    • Appraisal requires gathering general, specific, and comparable data.

    Highest and Best Use Analysis

    • Analysis considers physically possible, legally permissible, financially feasible, and maximally productive criteria.

    Land Valuation Methods

    • When vacant land sales are scarce, Abstraction and Allocation methods provide useful insights for valuation.

    Types of Depreciation

    • Physical depreciation, functional obsolescence, and external obsolescence, with the latter being non-curable, contribute to property value changes.

    Market Value Fluctuation

    • Appraisals should reflect the date of assessment as market values are not static, underpinned by the principle of change.

    Principal of Future Benefits

    • The present worth of future benefits is encapsulated in the principle of anticipation.

    Sales Comparison Approach

    • The sales comparison approach is based on the relationship between the market value of a subject property and the value of comparable properties.

    Cost Definitions

    • Cost definitions clarify distinctions between Replacement Cost and Reproduction Cost based on similarity and quality of materials used.
