    Introduction to Appraisal

    • Appraisal is an opinion of value.
    • The physical land and appurtenances fixed to it are considered real estate.
    • Real property includes the interests, benefits, and rights inherent in real estate ownership.
    • The intended use refers to how a client utilizes appraisal report information.
    • Real property consists of rights in realty.
    • Appraisals are crucial for solving real estate valuation issues.
    • While appraisers should include items like clothes washers and dryers in an appraisal, they should be identified separately, and their value should be estimated.
    • Items permanently built and intended to be included with real property are considered real estate.
    • An appraiser quantifies and develops an opinion of value.
    • Easements usually grant access to a property for a specific service.
    • The Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution mandates just compensation from the government for land taken for public use.
    • Failure to pay property taxes for five years gives the state the right to sell the property to recover back taxes.
    • The state must pay fair compensation based on property value before and after taking land for public purposes, like road widening.
    • A fee simple interest in real property is only limited by taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.
    • Recording a deed provides public notice of a transaction and establishes its priority.
    • Police power includes zoning and environmental protection regulations.

    Land, Real Estate, and Ownership of Real Property

    • Each parcel of land is unique because they cannot occupy the same space.
    • Land supply is finite.
    • The concept of land encompasses geographic, environmental, legal, economic, and social aspects.
    • Changes in local building codes exemplify a governmental force affecting real estate value.
    • Police power includes zoning and environmental protection regulations.

    The Nature of Value

    • The price of real property is the amount of money used to compensate the seller during a sale.
    • Cash-equivalent price reflects the seller's acceptance as if they received cash at closing.
    • Utility refers to an item's ability to satisfy human desires or needs.
    • A property located in a flood zone, prohibited from receiving a building permit by the city planning department loses most of its utility.
    • Demand for real estate can be affected by increasing population and employment, the availability of mortgage financing, and increases in purchasing power.
    • Land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship are the four agents of production.
    • Real property possesses value because it provides future benefits.
    • The supply of one-unit residential properties is mainly impacted by increased home construction.
    • The lower-priced home will attract more demand when two homes in the same area have identical size, location, amenities, and features but different prices.
    • A seller is forced to reduce the price when a property is put up for sale, and no buyers are willing to pay the asking price.
