3 ways to assign value
1) APPRAISAL (official, done with appraiser)
2) VALUATION (collecting info & developing an opinion of value)
3) EVALUATION (statement regarding the usefulness/utility of property. The focus is not on actual value but on best use, feasibility & market’s supply and demand)
3 Main Types of Value
A) MARKET VALUE —> price seller & buyer would probably accept; it’s an opinion & it’s temporary
B) APPRAISED VALUE —> number given on an appraisal; tends to be close to what will go for an open market and it’s normally done for mortgage loans
C) ASSESSED VALUE —> value placed by a governmental unit for property tax calculation purposes
Other types of value (besides mkt, appraisal & assessed)
- taxable value (assessed value - tax exemption)
- investment value (most an investor would be willing to pay based on goal)
- insurable value
- mortgage value
- actual cash value (depreciated value of a property)
- value-in-use (current worth of the future benefits of ownership)
- condemnation value

Principle of Anticipation
Economics Principles of Value 1/8
Present value is affected by the anticipated income or utility the property will give
Principle of Contribution

The value of each component contributes to the total value
The contribution value of an item is different than cost of the item
Not-so-smart investment VS. over-improvement
Principle of Substitution
Economics Principles of Value 3/8
The value of something is affected by the cost of getting in a similar (substitute) item elsewhere
