Study Notes
Introduction to Valuation Process
- The valuation process is a systematic procedure used by appraisers to answer client questions about real property value.
- It provides a framework adaptable to various value-related questions.
- It involves a logical method for collecting, analyzing, and processing data to create well-reasoned value estimates.
- The process starts when an appraiser accepts an assignment and ends when appraisal conclusions are communicated to the client.
Steps of Valuation Process
- The valuation process progresses through specific steps, with the number varying based on the appraisal situation and available data.
- Research is crucial and begins after the appraisal problem and scope of work are defined.
- The research phase involves gathering information to support the valuation.
- Data analysis begins with examining market trends at different levels (international, national, regional, or neighborhood).
- Trends may include positive or negative percentage changes in property values over time.
- Appraisals focused on market value strive for well-supported conclusions reflecting influencing factors.
Approaches to Value
- Appraisers evaluate properties from three perspectives: cost approach, sales comparison approach, and income capitalization approach.
- The cost approach estimates value by calculating the replacement cost of improvements, adding an entrepreneurial incentive, deducting depreciation, and including land value.
- The sales comparison approach establishes value by comparing the subject property to similar properties recently sold (comparable sales).
- The income capitalization approach determines value based on the earning power of the property, calculated by capitalizing its income.
Steps in the Valuation Process
- Step 1: Definition of the Problem: Crucial to defining the appraisal problem. It includes identifying clients, intended users, the purpose of the appraisal, date of value opinion, property characteristics, etc.
- Step 2: Scope of Work: The extent of research and analysis involved in the assignment, considering the client's intended use and nature of the problem.
- Step 3: Data Collection & Property Description: Gathering data on the market area, the subject property, and comparable properties. Basic categories of data are general (social, economic, governmental, and environmental forces) and specific (legal, physical, locational, cost, and income).
- Step 4: Data Analysis: Analyzing the collected data, encompassing market analysis (studying market conditions and local developments) and highest and best use analysis (determining the most profitable use of the land and property).
- Step 5: Land Value Opinion: Assessing land value, recognizing the difference between land and site.
- Step 6: Application of the Approaches to Value: Applying the cost approach, sales comparison approach, and income capitalization approach to estimate the value of the property.
- Step 7: Final Reconciliation of Value Indications: Reconciling the value indications obtained from various approaches to arrive at a final value conclusion.
- Step 8: Report of Defined Value: Presenting the final appraisal conclusion in a report to the client.
Types of Appraisals
- Retrospective Appraisals: Valuations for a specific past date (e.g., date of death for inheritance tax).
- Prospective Appraisals: Valuations for a future date (e.g., future income stream estimates).
Appraisal Report
- The appraisal report is the final documentation of the appraiser's work and analysis.
- The report outlines the detailed methodology employed throughout the valuation process.
- Conclusions are usually conveyed verbally or in writing to the client.
