    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.
