Exam 3 Appraisal Flashcards
(114 cards)
Cost approach
Value is derived by reproducing a new subject property and depreciating it to be comparable to the subject
Sales Comparison Approach
Value is derived by comparing the subject property through adjustments made to units of comparison to sales of similar properties in the area
Income approach
Value is derived by analyzing a property’s capacity for earnings and capitalizing the income into an indication of present value
contribution and substitution are
Basic principles used in this approach to value
Contribution
each part contributes to the whole
Substitution
building a substitute for the subject
does cost equal value
NO
Common uses for cost approach
- Special purpose commercial properties (doctor’s office, laboratory, car wash, church)
- New residential homes
- Property insurance
factors that effect the cost approach
use type, quality of construction, size, shape, height, site improvements
Quality of construction CA
good construction is more expensive than average, average is more expensive than fair
size CA
higher is more expensive but bigger tends to be less per square foot
shape CA
weird shapes are more expensive
height CA
higher you build the more expensive it is because of steel
site improvements CA
commercial has higher cost site improvements (need more parking, sidewalk, possibly covered sidewalks), residential a ranch house will be more than a 2 story
Reproduction cost:
reproducing the subject with the original materials
Replacement cost:
replacing the subject with todays materials, Do a lot more of these in appraisal because its cheaper
Direct cost (hard cost):
materials and labor
Indirect cost (soft cost):
profit, overhead, engineering, architects, appraisals, surveys
There are three major ways to compute the cost approach to value are as follows:
- Quantity-survey method
- Unit-in-place/segregated cost method
- Comparative-unit method
Comparative Unit Method:
- easiest
- Appraiser estimates dollars per unit of area based upon known costs of similar structures.
- This method is the most widely used method for this approach to value
Unit-In-Place Method:
Appraiser estimates the cost of the major components of construction using subcontractor quotes or cost handbooks.
- This method is very useful for industrial buildings as they are often shells.
- Break it up into parts of a building (Ex: foundation, framing, roofing, plumbing, heating and air)
Quantity-Survey Method:
- hardest
- Appraiser estimates quantities of all the materials in the construction process (ex: 2 x 4 wood beams, roofing nails)
- It is the most precise method but takes more time and detail. General Contractors use this more than appraisers
Depreciation
loss in value
Physical deterioration or depreciation:
wear and tear, use and age
