    Study Notes

    Value, Price, and Cost

    • Value depends on when, how, and to whom the property is bought or sold, and is estimated based on future benefits.
    • Price is the agreed upon amount for a good or service, based on the current situation. It is not a set amount.
    • Cost is the price paid or the amount spent to create something.

    Market Value

    • Market value is the price buyers and sellers might agree on in a given marketplace.
    • It considers similar properties in the area. It's not based purely on physical condition, but also on the property's utility.

    Price Factors

    • The price for an item is finalized when the transaction occurs.
    • A sale price is a historical fact.
    • Price may or may not reflect the item's true value.
    • Supply and demand directly affect the sales price.

    Reproduction Cost

    • Reproduction cost is the amount necessary to create an exact copy of a design or a product/building.
    • Costs consider identical materials and methods to the original.

    Replacement Cost

    • Replacement cost is the price to create something similar using modern materials and technology.
    • The item must fulfill the same function as the original.

    Valuation

    • Valuation is the process of estimating a property's value using different methods and approaches.
    • This results in a formal valuation report.
    • Valuation can be formal (professional and well-documented) or informal (quick judgments).

    Factors Influencing Value

    • Utility: How useful the property is based on present and future needs, desires.
    • Relative Importance: Depends on the situation and person involved.
    • Scarcity: If something is rare, it's typically more valuable.
    • Desire: How much someone wants something. High demand increases value.
    • Purchasing Power: Ability of buyers to afford something can affect its worth.
    • Supply and Demand: Availability and desire for something play a vital role in price formation.
    • Amenity: Additional features or aesthetic qualities that make the property more valuable.

    Truths Against Valuation Myths

    • Myth 1: Valuation is objective.
      • Truth: All valuations are influenced by bias and are dependent on others financially involved in the process.
    • Myth 2: All valuations provide precise value estimates.
      • Truth: Precise estimates are not possible; the results are most reliable when estimates are less precise.
    • Myth 3: More complex models always produce higher quality valuations.
      • Truth: Simpler valuation models frequently outperform more intricate ones.

    Real Estate Federations

    • There are various groups globally that oversee the real estate industry, like the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC), the International Real Estate Federation (FIABCI), and others.

    Valuation Process

    • Property identification is the initial step in valuing an asset.
    • Defining what the valuation is used for and whether it's for a formal document or an estimate is important.
    • Identifying comparable properties is a crucial part within different appraisal approaches.
