Broker Price Opinion
Value is created by
demand, utility, scarcity, and transferability of property (DUST)
most probable price that property should bring in a fair sale, but not necessarily the same as the price asked or paid or the cost to construct.
Market Value
basic principles of value
Anticipation Conformity Competition Change Contribution
A property’s highest and best use
Physically possible, legally permitted, financially feasible, most profitable, maximally productive
is in evidence when additional property improvements no longer bring a comparable increase in property value.
Law of increasing and diminishing returns
assemblage
process when two or more parcels of land are combined
when a property’s value is enhanced because of more valuable properties in the vicinity
progression
in effect when a property’s value is lower because of less valuable properties in the vicinity.
regression
dictates that prices will rise when demand is high relative to supply, and prices will fall when supply is high relative to demand.
supply and demand
makes use of sales of properties comparable to the property that is the subject of the appraisal by adding or subtracting from the sales price of each comp the value of a feature present or absent in the subject property versus the comparable.
sales comparison approach (market data approach)
uses the current cost of constructing building and other property improvements and an estimate of accrued depreciation using the straight-line method (economic age-life method), or an estimate of individual items of physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, or external obsolescence.
the cost approach
income approach
- Estimating annual potential gross income
- Deducting an allowance for vacancy and rent loss to find effective gross income
- Deducting annual operating expenses to find net operating income (NOI)
- Estimating the rate of return (capitalization rate or cap rate) for the subject by analyzing cap rates of similar properties
- Deriving an estimate of the subject’s market value by applying the cap rate to the property’s annual NOI using this formula: net operating income ÷ capitalization rate = value
