Study Notes
Reconciliation
- Reconciliation is a subjective process that relies on the appraiser's judgment rather than a mathematical formula.
Appraisal Techniques
- When appraising single-family residences, the sales comparison approach is the preferred method.
Data Verification
- Appraisers should verify data using the most reliable source available to ensure accuracy.
Value Indicators
- The number of value indicators used to assess the value of a property influences the reliability of the estimate.
- A value indicator supported by more data is generally regarded as more credible.
Appraisal Types
- The specific appraisal techniques used depend on the property's type.
Final Value Estimate
- A point estimate is a single dollar amount that represents the appraiser's final assessment of a property's value.
- A range value can sometimes be too broad and ineffective due to a lack of specificity.
- An appraiser should choose the number of significant digits in their estimate based on confidence levels in the accuracy of the value.
- A lower level of confidence might necessitate the use of fewer significant digits.
Credibility
- An appraisal lacking critical data fails to meet professional standards and is considered unreliable.
