Principles of Value
A
- Anticipation
- Change
- Competition
- Conformity
- Contribution
- Highest and Best Use
- Increasing and diminishing returns
- plottage
- regression and progression
- Substitution
- Supply and Demand
25
Anticipation
value is created by the expectation that certain events will occur
26
Change
no physical or economic condition remains constant
27
Competition
the interaction of supply and demand
28
Conformity
maximum value is created when a property is in harmony with its surroundings
29
How is maximum value realized?
the use of land conforms to existing neighborhood standards
30
Contribution
the value of any part of a property is measured by its effect on the value of the whole parcel
31
What is the most profitable use of a property?
highest and best use
32
What must the use be for highest and best use?
1. physically possible
2. legally permitted
3. economically or financially feasible
4. the most profitable or maximally productive
33
What can highest and best use change with?
social, political, economic forces
34
Principal of Plottage
the individual value of two adjacent properties may be greater if they are combined in an assemblage than if each is sold separately
35
Law of increasing Returns
as long as money spent on improvements produces an increase in income or value
36
Law of diminishing returns
the point where additional improvements do not increase income or value
37
Assemblage
the process of merging two separately owned lots under one owner
38
Plottage
the amount that the value of the combined properties is increased by successful assemblage
39
Regression
the worth of a better-quality property is adversely affected by the presence of a lesser-quality property
40
Progression
the value of a modest home would be higher if it were located among larger, fancier properties
41
Substitution
the maximum value of a property tends to be set by how much it would cost ot purchase an equally desirable and valuable substitute property
42
What is substitution the foundation on?
the sales comparison approach to appraising
43
The Principle of Supply and Demand
teh value of a product depends on supply; when the supply of a similar properties increase, their value decreases; when demand for such properties increases, their value increases
44
3 appraisal methods
1. Sales comparison approach
2. Cost approach
3. income approch
45
Sales comparison approach
value is obtained by comparing the property being approaced - the subject property - with recently sold comparable properties
46
Another name for sales comparison approach
market data approach
47
How is sales price of a comparable adjusted in the sales comparison approach?
adjusted to reflect the impact on value of any differences between teh subject and the comparable
48
Elements of comparison for sales comparison approach
1. property rights
2. financing concessions
3. market conditions
4. conditions of sale
5. market conditions since the date of sale
6. location or area preference
7. physical features and amenities
49
Property rights
make an adjustment when less than fee simple is involved
50
Financing Concessions
financing terms under which a property was sold must be considered, including mortgage loan terms and owner financing or an interest rate buydown by a builder-developer
51
Market conditions
interest rates, supply and demand, other economic indictators
52
conditions of sale
adjust value if motivational factors that would affect the sale
53
market conditions since the date of sale
adjust if economic changes occur between the date of sale of the comparable property and the date of the appraisal
54
location or area preference
similar properties might differ in price from neighborhood to neighborhood or even between locations within the same neighborhood
55
Physical freatures and amenities
physical features may require adjustments when compared to the subject property
56
Which is the most reliable approach for appraisal?
sales comparison approach
57
Cost approach
based on the principal of substitution
58
5 steps of cost approach
1. estimate the value of the land as though it were vacant and available to be put to its highest and best use
2. estimate the current cost of constructing buildings and improvements
3. estimate the amount of accrued depreciation resulting from the property's physical deterioration, external depreciation and function obsolescence
4. Deduct the accrued depreciation from the construction cost
5. add the estimated land valueto the depreciated cost of the building and site improvements to arrive at the total property value
59
subject property
property being appraised
60
depreciation
loss in value
61
2 kinds of construction costs
1. reproduction cost
| 2. Replacement cost
62
Reproduction Cost

65

no
66
3 Depreciation Classes
1. Physical Deterioration
2. Function Obsolescence
3. External Obsolescence
67
Physical deterioration curable
item is in need or repair that would result in an increase in value equal to or exceeding its cost
68
Physical deterioration incurable
it is a defect caused by phsyical wear and tear and its correction would not be economically feasible or contribute a comparable value to the building
69
Obsolescence
a loss in value from teh market's response to the item
70
Economic Life
th period during which something is expected to remain useful for its original intended purpose
71
Functional Obsolescence curable
outmoded or unacceptable physical or design features that are no longer considered desirable by purchases that can be replaced or redesigned at a cost that would be offset by the anticipated increase in ultimate value
72
Functional obsolescence incurable
currently undesirable physical or design features that cannot be easily remedied becuase the cost of the cure would be greater than its resulting increase in value
73

straight-line method
74

cost / # years of expected economic life
75
What is the easiest way to determine depreciation
straight-line method

federal government
78

79
income approach
value is based on the present value of the right to future income; assumes the income generated by a property will determine the property's value

82
What is the income approach of appraisal used for?
valuation of income-producing properties (apartments, offices, retail, shopping centers)
83
5 steps in income approach (capitalization)
1. estimate property's annual potential gross income
2. deduct an appropriate allowance for vacancy and rent loss to arrive at the effective gross income
3. calculate net operating income
4. estimate a price a typical investor would pay for the income produced by this particular type and class of property by estimating capitalization rate
5. apply the capitalization rate to the property's annual net operating income to arrive ath teh estimate of the property's value
84
Capitalization rate
rate of return that an investor will demand for the investment of capital in this type of building
85
Net Operating Income
effective gross income - annual operating expenses
86
Debt service
not included as an operating expense
87

by comparing the relationship of net operating income with the sales prices of similar properties that have sold in the current market
88

Gross Income Multiplier (GIM) use
can be used for 5+ unit properties based on annual income
92
Gross Rent Multipler equaltion
sales price / motnhly gross rent
93
Gross Income Multiplier equation
sales price / annual gross income
94
What must an appraiser have to establish an accurate GRM?
recent sales and rental data from at least 4 properties that are similar to the subject property
95
What is GRM used for?
estimating fair market rental of the subject property to arrive at market value
96
GRM uses annual or monthly?
monthly
97
Estimated market value for GRM?
rental income x GRM
98
Steps of GRM process
1. find a comparable property, take its sale price, divide it by current monthly rent. This will equal the GRM
2. GRM x monthly rent = value
