Q

Why might the cost approach be difficult to use in a depressed market?

A

It could be difficult to estimate economic obsolescence. Way back in Chapter 1, we said a property may also be complex because of atypical market conditions. But these would be hard to measure, and it would be difficult to calculate the amount of economic obsolescence that may be occurring at that point in time. Published cost sources may still be accurate; it is the economic obsolescence that would be difficult to quantify. Depressed markets are not always older urban areas.Ch 9, Cost Approach Applicability

Q

A one-acre property with an old home was purchased for $200,000. The owner razes the home at a cost of $20,000, and constructs a new home on the property at a cost of $650,000. What is the indicated site value?

A
  1. If a property is purchased for development to another use and the existing improvements are to be razed and removed, the cost of removing the improvements should be added to the purchase price in order to determine the total cost of acquiring the land. The appraiser may need to apply this analysis to comparable sales when estimating the land value of the subject. $200,000 + $20,000 = $220,000.Ch 9, Cost to Raze and Remove

Q

You are appraising a unique home, which was constructed to resemble a lighthouse. The owner provides you a copy of the construction contract from 8 years ago stating that the home was built for $880,000. What is probably your BEST option for estimating cost new today?

A

Use cost index trending

17
Q

A new home sold for $500,000. By analyzing comparable sales, you estimate the land value to be $120,000 and the site improvements to be worth $30,000. The house contains 3,250 square feet of GLA. What is the indicated cost per square foot of the dwelling?

A

107.69. $500,000 - $120,000 - $30,000 = $350,000. $350,000 / 3,250 = $107.69 Ch 9, Market Extraction of Building Costs

18
Q

The cost of constructing a home 10 years ago was $180,000. The cost index at that time was 101.5. The current index is 155.6. What would be the cost of the home today?

A
  1. 155.6 / 101.5 = 1.533 x $180,000 = $275,940 Ch 9, Cost Index Trending
19
Q

A one-acre property, improved with an old home, was purchased for $310,000. The purchaser immediately razes the home at a cost of $35,000, and salvages $10,000 worth of materials from the home, including bricks, copper, and aluminum. The purchaser then constructs a new home at a cost of $880,000. What is the indicated site value of this property?

A
  1. $310,000 + $35,000 - $10,000 = $335,000. Ch 9, Cost to Raze and Remove

21
Q

A new building is depreciating at an annual rate of 4%. What is its total economic life?

A

25 years

22
Q

A 75-year-old house recently sold for $220,000. The reproduction cost of the improvements today would be $250,000, and total depreciation is estimated at 70%. By extraction, what is the land value?

A
  1. $250,000 x 0.3 (subtracting 70%) equals $75,000 improvement value. $220,000 = $75,000 = $145,000. Ch 9, Extraction Method
23
Q

A 10 year old home recently sold for $320,000. The site value is $110,000. The cost new of the home would be $250,000. What is the annual straight-line depreciation percentage indicated by this property?

A

1.6%. $320,000 - $110,000 = $210,000 depreciated value of improvements. $250,000 (cost new) - $210,000 = $40,000 lump sum depreciation. $40,000 / $250,000 = .016 or 16%. 16% divided by 10 = 1.6% annually. Ch 9, More on Market Extraction Method

Q

A 10 year old home recently sold for $320,000. The site value is $110,000. The cost new of the home would be $250,000. What is the percentage depreciation indicated by this property?

A

62.5 years. $320,000 - $110,000 = $210,000 depreciated value of improvements. $250,000 (cost new) - $210,000 = $40,000 lump sum depreciation. $40,000 / $250,000 = .16 or 16%. 16% divided by 10 = 1.6% annually. 100% divided by 1.6% = 62.5. Ch 9, More on Market Extraction Method

25
Q

A new home is depreciating at an annual rate of 2%. How many years will it take before it loses 100% of its value?

A

50 years. 100% / 2% = 50 Ch 9, More on Market Extraction Method

26
Q

You have sales of improved properties that indicate your subject property is worth $620,000. You have no vacant land sales. Your research shows that land values in this area are typically 25% of the total property value. What is the land value for the subject property?

A
  1. $620,000 / 0.25 = $155,000 Ch 9, Case Study 13 - Allocation
27
Q

A

$40,000

28
Q

You are appraising a single-family home in an area where there are very few sales, but there are many rentals. The subject property is rented for $1,100 per month, which is market rent. You find two sales that are over one year old. One sold for $96,000 and was rented for $1,200 per month. The other sold for $108,000 and was rented for $1,350 per month. What would be the indicated value of the subject?

A
  1. $96,000 / $1,200 = 80 GRM. $108,000 / $1,350 = 80 GRM. Based on these two sales, 80 would be an appropriate GRM, so $1,100 x 80 = $88,000. Ch 9, Income Approach
29
Q

A property sold for $725,000. The site was valued at $235,000, and the cost new of the improvements was $618,000. By market extraction, what is the percent of depreciation in the building?
