Appraisal Approaches to Value

There are three approaches appraisers and real estate professionals use to a value a property.

Sales Comparison Approach

This approach is the most commonly used approach in appraisal and sale of residential properties. The sales Comparison Approach uses sales prices as evidence of the value of similar properties. The price at which a particular property sells is the price determined by the interaction of supply and demand at the time of sale. To value a property under this method we use similar comparable sales and make pride adjustments based on condition, location and property attributes.

The Cost Approach

This approach a real estate valuation method that estimates the price a buyer should pay for a piece of property is equal the cost to build an equivalent building. It assumes that a buyer would not pay more for a property than it would cost to build a substitute. This method is effective to use when valuing a unique property without comparable sales. It allows a user to determine the value of a property by approximating the land value and adding the cost of the structures on the site. Adjustments to value are made for the following:

Physical deterioration: physical wear and tear
Functional obsolescence: decline in functional utility caused by changes in design and use preference.
External obsolescence: decrease in value resulting from declining neighborhood or market conditions.

Income Capitalization Approach

The income capitalization approach allows investors to estimate the value of a property based on the income the property generates. In this approach the user determines the value of the property to be the net present value of future income streams.
