Step 5: Land Value Opinion

Extraction

A

Based on improved sales, and the depreciated cost (contributory value) of the improvements is subtracted from the sales price.

— Depreciated cost of improvements
——————————————————–
Land value of comparable sale

The value of the land is extracted from the total value

Q

Step 5: Land Value Opinion

Land Residual Technique

A

Income approach based on the economic principle of surplus productivity.As the other three agents of production have been paid, land as the residual receives income, which is capitalized into land value.

  • the appraiser separates the rent between the land and improvements
  • the appraiser converts the net income to the land only through the capitalization process to develop a value opinion for the land

the basic formula for income capitalization is called IRV, Income ÷ Rate = Value

Q

Step 6: Approaches to value

A

An appraiser often employs more than one approach. The resulting value indications will likely differ from one another, and can either support or refute each other.

19
Q

Step 6: Application of the Approaches to Value:

Cost Approach

A

a summation approach to value. In this approach, the value of the site is first estimated using one of the six procedures for valuing land, then the value contribution of the building and site improvements are added to indicate the value of the overall property.

20
Q

Step 6: Application of the Approaches to Value:

Cost Approach

A

The cost approach reflects market thinking by recognizing that participants in the marketplace relate value to cost

21
Q

Step 6: Application of the Approaches to Value:

Cost Approach

A

A buyer will not pay more for a property than the cost to acquire a similar site and construct improvements of equivalent desirability and utility without undue delay

22
Q

Step 6: Application of the Approaches to Value:

Cost Approach

A

This is also true of building components such as decks, porches, added plumbing fixtures, and fireplaces in the case of residential properties or expanded open space and additional elevators in commercial properties

23
Q

Step 6: Application of the Approaches to Value:
Cost Approach

8 Step Procedure

A
  1. Estimate the value of the land as though vacant and available to be put to its highest and best use
  2. Estimate the direct and indirect costs of the improvements.
  3. Estimate the entrepreneurial incentive.
  4. Add steps 2 and 3 together to obtain the total current cost.
  5. Estimate the accrued depreciation from three sources:
    a. Physical deterioration
    b. Functional obsolescence
    c. External obsilescence
  6. Deduct the depreciation from the total cost to derive an estimate of the depreciated cost of improvements.
  7. Add contributory (as is) value of any site improvements.
  8. Add the alnd value to the total depreciated costs.
24
Q

Step 6: Application of the Approaches to Value:

Sales Comparison

A

The sales comparison approach is based on a comparison of the subject property to similar sales. This is the same procedure discussed previously as one of the six procedures for valuing land, except it will be applied to improved properties (with building improvements).

25
Q

Step 6: Application of the Approaches to Value:

Sales Comparison Approach (Adjustments)

A

If the comparable sale is Superior, Subtract.

If the comparable sale is Inferior, Increase.

26
Q

Commonly used elements of comparison

A
  • Property rights conveyed
  • Financing
  • Conditions of sale
  • Expenditures made immediately after sale
  • Market conditions
  • Location
  • Physical characteristics
  • Economic characteristics
  • Use / zoning
  • Non-realty components
27
Q

Step 6: Application of the Approaches to Value:

Income Approach

A

measures the present value of future benefits derived from property ownership , such as collecting future rent payments and eventual resale of the property in the future. It is based on the conversion of the income producing capability of a property into value through the capitalization process.

28
Q

Step 6: Application of the Approaches to Value:

Income Approach

A

the anticipated benefits or potential of the property to produce income is used to assess its value.

29
Q

Step 6: Application of the Approaches to Value:

Income Approach

A

After income and expenses are estimated, the appropriate income stream(s) may be capitalized into a value opinion. This typically involves annual income, or income over a one-year period.

30
Q

Step 7: Reconciliation

A

the process of resolving the differences among the various value indications and arriving at a final opinion of value. The value opinion can be a single dollar figure or a range into which the value will most likely fall.

31
Q

Step 7: Reconciliation

A

Reconciliation is a disciplined process using reason and judgment based on the quality and quantity of data.

32
Q

Step 7: Reconciliation

A

the reconciliation process is not limited to just one step, but occurs throughout the valuation process

33
Q

Step 7: Reconciliation

A

Reconciliation requires individual judgments on the part of the appraiser. This is where the science blends with the art

34
Q

Step 8: Report of Defined Value

A

The valuation process is not complete until the appraiser states the value opinion in a report and presents it to the client in the form of either an oral or written report.

35
Q

Step 8: Report of Defined Value

A

The appraiser must ensure that the communication of the assignment results are carried out in a manner that is not misleading.

The appraiser must ensure that the communication of the assignment results are carried out in a manner that is not misleading.
