- Cost Approach

- Estimates value by multiplying GRM by rental income.
Appraisal: Qualifying the Property
- Sales comparison approach is most effective for active residential markets.
- Cost approach is most effective for special use property or newer homes.
- Income approach is most effective for cash flow generating property.
Cost Approach Example
- Cost New = $200,000 (2,000 Sq Foot x $100 per square foot new)
- Depreciation Estimate = $20,000 (10% of total effective 100 year life span)
- Site Value = $30,000
- Subject Value Estimate = $200,000 - $20,000 + $30,000 = $210,000
Income Approach Example
- GRM = 4, derived from the market
- Subject potential gross income (PGI) = $200,000 per year
- Subject Value Estimate = 4 x $200,000 = $800,000
