The purpose of an appraisal is to determine a value of property.  Although there are various types of value, two major categories of value are found in use and market value. 

 

Valley in use referrers to the value of the particular property to a particular corner or user of real estate.  For example, the value that you place in a property that has been in your family for over a hundred years might be different than what an outside buyer might view has value.

 

Market value face value in exchange as determined by supply and demand in the old and real estate market.

 

 

Depreciation.

Depreciation is defined as a loss in the body from any cause.  Depreciation is usually measured as the difference between the new replacement cost of a building or improvement, and its value as of the date of the appraisal.

 

Cause depreciation.

1.  Physical deterioration. A loss in value caused by where content from use, deferred maintenance, lack of upkeep, damage by termites and so on.

2.Functional obsolescence.  A loss in value caused by unpopular floor plan and layout, lack of updates, mother of appliances and equipment, and poor or unpopular architectural design and style.

 

3.Economic and social obsolescens. A loss in does the resulting from zoning and other government actions, makes place improvements, such as home built next to an all-night service station, and drop in demand for real estate or overbuilding, creating an excessive supply of homes.

 

Approaches to value.

 

Cost approach to value.  The coast approach to value comprises four basic steps:

1. Estimate the value of the land.  Compare recent lot sales prices.

  1. Estimate the current replacement cost of improvements.  Building square footage x cost per square foot; also estimate price of fencing, cement work, landscaping.
  2. Estimate and then subtract accrued depreciation to arrive at present value of the improvement.
  3. Add value of land to present value of the improvements.

To estimate the value of the land, appraisers usually compare recent vacant lot sales, adjusting the estimates for the differences in location, topography, size, shape, and so on.

 

Estimate replacement cost.  To estimate the current placement cost of buildings, appraisers in the first measure the square footage (exterior length x width). The square footage of the House is measured separately from the garage, patios and porches.  Once accurate cost per square foot are obtained, the appraiser multiplies this figure times the square footage of the building.  Figures for fencing, cement work, and landscaping are then added to arrive at the current replacement cost of the improvement. 

 

 

 

Income approach. 

 

The income approach to value is based on the premise that a property is worth the present value of the future income to be produced by the property.  In other words, what an investor should be willing to pay today for a property is directly related to what investor expects to receive from the property in the future.  Financial analysts have developed a technique called capitalization which computes the present value of future income produced by real estate.

There are serious of steps:

 

1.  Estimate across annual income.

2.  Estimate of vacancies and uncollectible rents as subtract this from gross annual income to arrive at the effective gross income, also called the gross operating income.

3.  Estimate annual expenses and subtract these s from the effective gross income to arrive and a net operating income.

4. Select the proper capitalization rate.

5.  Divide the capitalization rate into the net operating income to arrive at an estimate of value.

 

Gross annual income is the maximum amount of income a property can expect to make it fully occupied hundred percent of the time and assuming rents are and the going market rate.  Appraisers recognize that hundred percent occupancy all the time is unrealistic.  Vacancies will occur, sometimes we'll skip out on their rent and appraisers subtract an estimate for vacancies and uncollected rent to arrive at the effective gross income.

 

After completing the effective gross income the appraiser totals of the annual operating expenses.  Operating expenses are the cost of running and maintain the property.  Such as: property taxes, repairs, maintenance, management fees, utilities, advertising and so on.  Released a loan payments and income tax depreciation that actions are not consider operating expenses because they are not used around the building.  Once annual operating income are calculated, they are subtracted from the effective gross income to arrive at a net operating income.  Net operating income is the income the property produces after deducting operating expenses, but before real estate a loan payments.

 

The next step in the income approach is to select the appropriate capitalization rate.  A capitalization rate can be defined as the rate necessary to attract an average investor to invest in the property being appraised.  The capitalization rate reflects a return on the funds in a state, as well as a return of the investment.  The final step in the income approach is to divide the capitalization rate into net operating income to arrive at an estimate of value.

The income approach to value is appropriate for income producing properties such as apartment buildings, commercial buildings, retail stores.

 

Market approach.

The market approach to value is based on the principle of substitution.  The principal ossification states that a buyer should not pay more for a home to the price it takes to acquire a comparable home.  The market approach is also known as comparison sales approach to value. 

 

To apply the market approach and appraiser gathers data on current sales of properties that a similar to the property being appraised. Once the comparable properties are selected the appraiser then makes adjustments for the differences between the comparable properties and the subject property being appraised.
