The report carries 20 points out of total 100 points of your grade. Everyone needs to submit an appraisal report for the residential real estate property, covering all the relevant issues appropriate to the assigned subject property. The report should present a thorough discussion and analysis of the valuation for the assigned subject project based on sales comparison approach (Please refer to the ppt on \u201cSales Comparison Approach\u201d and the project materials after Week 7 on Canvas for more information). Your main job is to collect the information of newly listed subject property and the information of 3-4 recent sold properties similar to subject property (comparables) from the websites. Then conduct a thorough analysis of the subject property\u2019s value using sales comparison approach. The relevant information on subject property and comparable properties could be found at the website providing information on real estate transactions. It is free access for everyone. You could learn about the recent listings and recent sales for any place you are interested through these websites. The most frequently used website are the following websites:<br \/>\n\u2022Google: \u201c## City Home for sale\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022Zillow<br \/>\n\u2022Ziprealty<br \/>\n\u2022Realtor.com<br \/>\n\u2022Trulia<br \/>\n\u2022Redfin<br \/>\nSales comparison approach<br \/>\n\u2022Principal<br \/>\n\u2022Substitution principle<br \/>\n\u2022One price rule \u2013 equivalent goods tend to sell forequivalent prices<br \/>\n\u2022Approach<br \/>\n\u2022Identify sales of similar properties<br \/>\n\u2022Adjust sale prices to reflect differences from the subjectproperty<br \/>\n\u2022Typical adjustments include sales date, size, age,condition, location, amenities and key features<br \/>\nSubject property: You may choose four bedrooms or five bedrooms single family property as the subject property of appraisal at a city with active housing market. An active housing market means there are a lot of transactions going on. This property should be a property currently listed for sale. The newly listed subject property should have a time on market (TOM)1 less than 3 months. If a property has been listed on the market for fairly long time without a sale, there may be some hidden problem with the property, or the listed price is not set well. The new listings information could be found in all the major websites for real estate transactions. Do NOT use listing for new construction as your subject property, which is not a good choice for practicing the sales comparison approach.<br \/>\nSelection of Comparables: It is very important to select good comparables. The more similar the comparables relative to the subject property, the less adjustment you do and the more accurate is<br \/>\n1 Time on Market (TOM, alternatively marketing time or days on market) is a measurement of the age of a real estate listing. It is the difference between the listing date of a property and the date of sale (the date of your estimate in this case).<br \/>\nyour estimate.

For instance, you could give more weights on the adjusted price of comparables which are more similar to the subject property and less weights on the adjusted price of comparables which are less similar to the subject property)<br \/>\nImportant Notes:<br \/>\nGiven the specific city where your subject property is located, you need justify the number of adjustments for each change in your table. You may search the following information online: cost of pool cost of additional bedroom\/bathroom<br \/>\ncost of additional patio\/pool\/wooddeck or another attribute housing price appreciation rate in local market value of incremental square footage of lot size\/living area in the local city DO NOT use the assumptions of various adjustment costs in the appraisal example directly on your report. Research on the adjustments costs are an important part of this project. Final Consolidation Derive your final estimate of subject property based on the Indication values from each comparable. Just the weights you give to each comparable in your report.<br \/>\nThe Appraisal Example for Adjustments<br \/>\nThe following appraisal example provides details on how to adjust between comparables and subject property. You may apply similar approach in your report, with the information of subject property and comparables collected by yourself.<br \/>\nClass Example: The Appraisal Example<br \/>\nYou are appraising a single-family residence located in the Huntington neighborhood at 4632 NW 56th Drive. The property is being acquired by a mortgage applicant and you have been asked to appraise the property by the lender. Seven potential comparable sales were initially identified. However, three of these seven were highly similar to the subject property in their transactional, physical and locational characteristics. You therefore decided to exclude the other four transactions from the comparable set.<br \/>\nThe elements of comparison you used to compare and adjust the sale prices of the comparable properties are listed in the market data grid below. The property rights being conveyed in the acquisition of the subject property are fee-simple absolute. Conventional mortgage financing will be used by the purchaser and the acquisition appears to be an arm\u2019s length transition. Thus, no adjustments need to be made to the sale prices of the comparable properties for the type of property rights conveyed, financing terms, or conditions of sale. However, the buyer of comparable 2 was aware that she would have to replace one of the air conditioning units immediately after acquiring the property; thus, she was able to negotiate a $3,000 price reduction from the seller.<br \/>\nComparable 1 sold three months ago, while comparables 2 and 3 sold six months ago. Based on your knowledge of recent price appreciation in this market, you have decided that comparable 1 would sell for 2 percent more if sold today and that comparables 2 and 3 would sell for 4 percent more if sold today. The subject property is located in Huntington, as is comparable 1.However, comparables 2 and 3 are located in Kensington and Millhoper, respectively. AlthoughHuntington is a high-end neighborhood, both Kensington and Millhoper are generally consideredto be slightly more desirable, In fact, homes in these two neighborhoods generally sell for about a3 percent price premium relative to similar homes in Huntington.<br \/>\nIn these neighborhoods, an incremental square foot of lot size or living area is worth about $20 per square foot and $80 per square foot respectively. Each year of effective age reduces the value of properties in this market by about $3,000 per year. You experience suggests that each additional half-bath is worth $500; each additional full bath $1,000. Additional garage spaces, wood decks, and pools in these neighborhoods are worth $8,000, $1,000, and $12,000, respectively. No significant non-realty items were included in the comparable transactions and non-realty items are not part of the acquisition of the subject property.<br \/>\nBased on the above discussion of the elements of comparison, complete an adjustment grid for the three comparable properties. What is the final adjusted price (indication of the subject\u2019s value) for comparable 1, 2, and 3?<br \/>\nTable of comparison<br \/>\nSales Comparison Approach: Market Data Grid for 4632 NW 56th DriveCompCompCompElements of ComparisonSubjectSale 1Sale 2Sale 3Sale price of comparable$510,000$525,000$499,000Transaction characteristicsProperty rights conveyedFee simpleSameSameSameFinancing termsConventinalSameSameSameConditions of saleArm&#8217;s lengthSameSameSameExpenditures immed. after purchaseNone$3,000NoneMarket conditionsToday3 mos. ago:6 mos. ago:6 mos.
