Case Study:

In this instance, it’s not easy to find comps for an old school house.

So the appraiser will find the value of the land first using the sales or market data approach.

Then, the appraiser will find the cost of rebuilding the school in todays dollars.

Once they find the cost to rebuild, they take the depreciation value (known by the appraiser) and deduct that from the cost to rebuild.

The depreciated cost of rebuilding and the cost of the land is now the appraisal value using the “__________”.

Quiz:

Assuming a building is depreciated by 70% (it still has a value of 30% of the current cost to rebuild) and the cost to rebuild today is $100,000. The land is known to be valued at $25,000, what is the value using the cost approach?

$150,000

$55,000

$155,000

$95,000

A

In this case, the property has a value of $30,000 and the land has a value of $25,000 so the value of this property is $55,000 total!

A minimum of 4 properties must be used in a gross rent multiplier. If rent was $1200 a month what would the house value be?

A
  • House 1 Salesprice = $225,000 ÷ monthly rent of $1450.000 = GRM 155.2
  • House 2 Salesprice = $209,000 ÷ monthly rent $1125.00 = GRM 185.8
  • House 3 Saleprice = $190,000 ÷ monthly rent $1200.00 = GRM 158.3
  • House 4 Saleprice = $200,000 ÷ monthly rent $1195.00 = GRM 167.4
  • House 5 Saleprice = $175,000 ÷ monthly rent $900.00 = GRM 194.4
    o Total GRM = 861.1 ÷ 5 = 172.2 AVG GRM

paid $310,000 for her property. What is her property worth now?

A
  • $310,000 x (.05) = $15,500 appreciation in year one
  • $310,000 + $15,500 = $325,500 at end of year one
  • $325,500 x (.05) = $16,275 appreciation in year two
  • $325,500 + $16,275 = $341,775 at end of year two
  • $341,775 x (.05) = $17,089 appreciation at end of year three
  • $341,775 + $17,063 = $358,864 at end of year three
  • $358,864 x (.05) = $17,943 appreciation at end of year four
  • $358,864 + $17,943 = $376,807 at end of year four

  • $50,000 ÷ $140,000 = 35.7% (.357)
    o Work the problem backwards In the T
    o $140,000 x .357 = $50,000

Q

Appraisals, GRM, Appreciation and Depreciation Math:
Determine the value of a residential property using an appraisers square footage method.
The cost of a building is $90 per sqft. The house is 1500sqft. The lot has a value of $15,000.
The site improvements cost $8500. There is a $1.40/sqft deduction for economic obsolescence. Due to the age of the building and having 7’ ceilings, there is a $1.10/sqft
deduction.

A
  • 1500sqft x $90 = $135,000 (Building)
  • $135,000 + $15,000 = $150,000 (Building + lot)
  • $150,000 + $8,500 = $158,500 (Building + lot + Site Improvements)
  • 1500 x $1.40 = $2,100 (Deduction for economic obsolescence)
  • 1500 x $1.10 = $1,650 (Deduction for functional obsolescence)
  • $158,500 - $2,100 - $1,650 = $154,750
    o Final Appraised Value of $154,750
249
Q

Appraisals, GRM, Appreciation and Depreciation Math:
An appraiser identified a comparable property for his appraisal. The subject property has 3 bedrooms, a pool and a 1 car garage. The comparable property recently sold for $240,000 and has 3 bedrooms, no pool and a 2 car garage. Assuming a pool has a $10,000 value and a 2 car garage is worth $5,000, what is the adjusted value of the comparable?

A
  • $240,000 + $10,000 (pool) - $5,000 (2 car garage) = $245,000
    o Remember – if the comp is better, you deduct that value to the comparable
    o Remember – if the comp is worse, you add that value to the comparable
     The adjusted value of the comparable is $245,000
250
Q

Appraisals, GRM, Appreciation and Depreciation Math:
Subject is a 4 bed, 3 bath with a pool. Comp A is a 3 bed, 3 bath, NO pool and sold for $190,000. Comp B is a 4 bed, 4 bah, WITH pool and sold for $200,000. Comp C is a 5 bed, 2
bath, WITH pool and sold for $210,000. Using a sales comparison approach, what is the value
of the subject property knowing that a pool is worth $15,000, a Bathroom is $5,000 and a Bedroom has a value of $10,000. (Grid Added to explain how this will look when written out
on paper)
Subject Comp A Comp B Comp C
4 Bed 3 Bed 4 Bed 5 Bed
3 Bath 3 Bath 4 Bath 2 Bath
Pool No Pool Pool Pool
??? $190,000 $200,000 $210,000

A

After drawing out the grid, we can do the math needed to answer this question:
* Comp A = $190,000 + $10,000 (bedroom) + $15,000 (pool) = $215,000
* Comp B = $200,000 - $5,000 (Bath) = $195,000
* Comp C = $210,000 - $10,000 (Bed) + $5,000 (Bathroom) = $205,000
* Add all 3 properties $215,000 + $195,00 + $205,000 = $615,000
* $615,000 ÷ 3 comps = $205,000
o The subject property has an adjusted value of $205,000!
