Our AIC-approved appraisers assess the type of residential property being appraised along with the complexity and scope of the assignment when determining the type of report to complete for their clients. Form reports are most commonly used for completing appraisal reports on residential properties.
Several methodologies can be used by our residential appraisers, depending on the scope and property type.
This approach determines residential property value by locating and comparing properties of similar size and attributes along with completed or pending sales.
This method determines value by assessing the land and building separately, then once finalized combines them for an overall value. This is especially useful if the property is new and has less depreciation.
This approach is beneficial when the property generates income such as a rental property. The potential revenue over time is considered along with the actual value of the land and property. Most common for commercial properties, not residential.
