PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED
The subject real estate will be appraised by estimating the market value of the fee simple interest of the
real property, assuming no encumbrances. Fee simple interest is defined as, “The most complete form of
ownership is the fee simple interest-i.e., absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate,
subject only to the limitations imposed by governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police
power, and escheat”.1 The complete bundle of rights includes but is not limited to the following:
• The right to sell an interest
• The right to lease an interest
• The right to occupy the property
• The right to mortgage an interest
• The right to give an interest away
Ownership of the fee simple interest is equivalent to ownership of the complete bundle of rights. This
appraisal was for the purpose of developing an opinion of value for the real property. No personal
property or intangible assets are included.
PURPOSE OF THE APPRAISAL
The purpose of this report is to arrive at a reliable estimate of market value of the fee simple interest of
the real property of the subject property, as of the effective date of the 2022 Assessment, January 2nd,
2022, for taxes payable in 2023.
DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE
The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all
conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and
assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a
sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
• Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
• Both parties are well informed or well advised, and each acting in what they consider their own
best interest;
• A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
• Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable
thereto; and
• The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold, unaffected by special or
creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.2
EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE APPRAISAL
The effective date of the appraisal is January 2nd, 2022. The property inspection of the subject property
was conducted on April 4th, 2022 by Mike Vanderlinden (Property Appraiser).

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
The sales comparison approach involves the analysis and correlation of data on similar recently sold
properties. This approach to value is based on the principle of substitution which states that “when several
similar or commensurate commodities, goods, or services are available, the one with the lowest price will
attract the greatest demand and widest distribution”.3 Thus, sales in the open market of properties with
generally similar characteristics and utility are good indicators of value. This approach also relies on the
concept of value in exchange, which measures under market conditions what informed purchasers would
offer for a property given the comparisons they make and the alternatives available for consideration. This
approach gives a direct indication of the actions of buyers and sellers in the real estate market.
The sales comparison approach is a very reliable approach to value in estimating values of single-family
properties. The key to reliability of the sales comparison approach is directly related to the adequacy of the
market sales information and the degree of similarity of those sales to the subject property. When
comparable sale properties have been located, adjustments must be made to those properties for differences
between the factors that were considered in examining the
comparable sales. Typical adjustments include the following:
1. Time of Sale
2. Personal property sold with real estate & seller concessions
3. Terms and/or conditions of sale
4. Physical characteristics
5. Age, quality and condition of improvements
Adjustments are always made to the comparable sale, never to the subject property. The total adjustment
for each comparable is the sum of several individual items adjusted for in each sale. In the sales comparison
approach, appraisers estimate a price per unit. The unit of comparison may be the property as a whole; or
some smaller unit of measurement, considering that the subject property and the comparable properties are
single family residences. The units of comparison that are most commonly used and analyzed will include:
1. Per dwelling
2. Per square foot of above grade Gross Living Area (GLA)
3. Per square foot of Total Finished Square Feet (TFSF) which includes both above and below grade
finished square feet.
In determining an appropriate unit of comparison for the subject property, the appraisers considered the
ranges of variation of individual units of comparison.
Most buyers are not skilled at calculating an actual square footage but do understand the component of
space and what would be visually appealing. The same utility can be met with having different square

12
footages. Most buyers and sellers of single-family residential properties purchase a home based on the
property as a whole therefore, the most appropriate unit of comparison is per dwelling unit. The final
adjusted sales prices were weighted based on overall comparability to the subject to arrive at a reconciled
final indication of market value.
