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.
