Improvements
31
Example of Cost Approach
32

The steps in the appraisal process are to:
1. Identify the appraisal problem to be solved2. Identify appropriate solutions3. Execute the appropriate scope of work4. Report the findings and conclusions reached
SUMMARY
35
The six elements of defining the appraisal problem are:
1. The client and any other intended users2. The intended use of the appraisal and report3. The type and definition of value4. The effective date of the appraiser’s opinions and
conclusions5. The subject of the assignment and its characteristics6. Any assignment conditions
SUMMARY
36
The scope of work includes four issues:
1. The extent of property identification2. The extent of property inspection3. The type of data researched and the extent of research4. The types and extent of data analyses used
SUMMARY
37
Three approaches are used for valuing real estate: Sales Comparison / Cost / Income
1. The sales comparison approach is often the most reliable.2. The cost approach estimates the value of a property by adding
its land value to the estimated cost to replace the existing structures less depreciation.
3. The income approach compares the income-producing capability of the property with that of properties that have been sold.
