An accurate appraisal depends on the methodical collection of data. Specific data, covering details regarding the particular property, and general data, pertaining to the nation, region, city, and neighbor­hood wherein the property is located, are collected and analyzed to arrive at a value. Appraisals use three basic approaches to determine a property's value.
Method 1: Sales Comparison Approach
Since no two properties are exactly alike, adjustments to the comparables' sales prices will be made to account for dissimilar fea­tures and other factors that would affect value, including:
1. Age and condition of buildings.
2. Date of sale, if economic changes occur between the date of
sale of a comparable and the date of the appraisal.

3. Terms and conditions of sale, such as if a property's seller was under duress or if a property was sold between relatives (at a dis­counted price).
4. Location, since similar properties might differ in price from neighborhood to neighborhood.
5. Physical features, including lot size, landscaping, type and quality of construction, number and type of rooms, square feet of liv­ing space, hardwood floors, a garage, kitchen upgrades, a fireplace, a pool, central air, etc.
Method 2: Cost Approach
The cost approach can be used to estimate the value of properties that have been improved by one or more buildings. This method in­volves separate estimates of value for the building(s) and the land, tak­ing into consideration depreciation:
1. Estimate the value of the land as if it were vacant and availa­ble to be put to its highest and best use, using the sales comparison approach since land cannot be depreciated.
2. Estimate the current cost of constructing the building(s) and site improvements.
3. Estimate the amount of depreciation of the improvements re­sulting from deterioration, functional obsolescence or economic obso­lescence.
4. Deduct the depreciation from the estimated construction costs.
5. Add the estimated value of the land to the depreciated cost of the building(s) and site improvements to determine the total prop­erty value.
Method 3: Income Capitalization Approach
Often called simply the income approach, this method is based on the relationship between the rate of return an investor requires and the net income that a property produces. It is used to estimate the value of income-producing properties such as apartment complexes, office buildings, and shopping centers. Appraisers will perform the follow­ing steps when using the direct capitalization approach:
45
1. Estimate the annual potential gross income.
2. Take into consideration vacancy and rent collection losses to
determine the effective gross income.
3. Deduct annual operating expenses to calculate the annual net
operating income.
4. Estimate the price that a typical investor would pay for the income produced by the particular type and class of property. This is accomplished by estimating the rate of return, or capitalization rate.
5. Apply the capitalization rate to the property's annual net op­erating income to form an estimate of the property's value.
