Ex. 1. Read and translate the text, do the exercise.
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.
