Q

three approaches for valuation are:

A

sales comparison, cost to reproduce, and income and expense approach.

19
Q

The first step in the valuation process is to identify the problem. What are two benefits of stating the problem up front?

A

Identifying the problem up front allows the appraiser to take the correct approach to estimating value and decide the data needed to make a final determination of value.

20
Q

What a buyer has paid for a property and what the seller has accepted

A

Price

21
Q

What a property is worth

A

Value

22
Q

What it would cost to recreate that property if it disappeared (ie: labor, materials, legal services, zoning, architectural design, financing, taxes

A

Cost

23
Q

Two types of costs

A

Direct costs/hard costs or indirect costs

24
Q

Labor and materials

A

Hard/Direct costs

25
Q

Fees and administrative costs

A

Indirect costs

26
Q

Four Significant Factors that Influence Value

A

Demand
Utility
Scarcity
Transferability

27
Q

___ is a bit of a popularity contest. How attractive and move-in ready is a property? What’s the market like? Are there more buyers than sellers, or vice versa?

A

Demand

28
Q

____ is related to a property’s function. Is it habitable in its current condition? Does it need updating? Repairs? Does the current zoning match the intended use? If a buyer wants a commercial property, but the current zoning is residential, this impacts the value.

A

Utility

29
Q

____ is related to demand. If you’ve studied economics, you know that supply and demand are price drivers. The fewer properties there are on the market (the greater the scarcity), the higher the demand. High demand pushes prices upward.

A

Scarcity

30
Q

____ refers to the ease with which the seller can convey the property. Factors such as deed restrictions, clouds on title, or tenants in place can make it more difficult to transfer the property, and thus reduce the property value.

A

Transferability

31
Q

Principles of value

A 
Anticipation
Competition
Conformity
Contribution
Highest and Best Use
Plottage
Regression
Progression
Subsititution
32
Q

The value of property today is the current value of the total anticipated future benefits. For example, a commercial property is leased for $12,000 per year for 30 years. The value of the property is based on the income that is expected to be received in the future.

A

Anticipation

33
Q

The more similar properties that are on the market, the lower the price will be driven. ____ is related to supply and demand. The greater the supply (the more competition), the lower the demand (and price). Less competition increases demand and drives pricing upward.

A

Competition

34
Q

Value is created and maintained when the characteristics of a property conform to the demands of the market. For example, a house built in the middle of a commercial zone (due to zoning changes) would be valued differently than a house in the middle of a neighborhood made up of similar houses.

A

Conformity

35
Q

A change in a property impacts the value as a whole. Does converting a garage into a family room contribute to or detract from value? That would be in the eyes of the buyer.

A

Contribution

36
Q

This is the most profitable use that is both legal (conforms to zoning) and economically feasible (won’t cost more than the increase in value).

A

Highest and Best Use

37
Q

The joining or assemblage of two neighboring land parcels increases the property value. In such a case, 1+ 1 often equals 3 or even 5. So two parcels worth $40,000 separately might be worth $120,000 when joined.

A

Plottage

38
Q

This is the value a higher-quality property loses by being near a lower-quality property.

A

Regression

39
Q

This is the value a lower-quality property gains by being near a higher-quality property. For example, if your neighbor builds on a second story in a quality remodel, the bump in value that your property receives is ____.

A

Progression

40
Q

A property’s value is determined by what it would cost to purchase a similar substitute property. If someone offered you a car that is an exact replica of another car but was $3,000 less, it would impact your perceived value of the other car.

A

Substitution

41
Q

Cost Approach Calculations

A

Replacement cost
- depreciation
+ land value
= appraised value

42
Q

Value calculation using income approach

A 
Potential gross income 
- vacancy collection
= effective gross income 
- operating expenses
= net operating income

Then

Net operating income
/ capitalization rate
= value

43
Q

Capitalization formula

A

Value = net operating income divided by capitalization rate
