Real Estate Appraisal


Ultimately, a real estate appraisal is the development of an opinion of the perceived value of real estate property. The value it is assigned is typically translated into the real estate property’s ‘market value.’ Of course, we require appraisals because the need arises from the fact that no two properties are alike or identical at all. And so because all properties are different from each other in many respects – the location, the infrastructure, the structure(s) are all unique and require a value to be placed on the property to either purchase it or sell it after a reasonable determinant of its value that is agreed upon. A real estate appraisal is needed because there must be a neutral entity that can base their opinions as objectively as possible.

A real estate appraisal is executed by a licensed appraiser that is usually certified. The appraiser's judgment is mostly based on the ‘market value,’ which must be adjusted to current rates… For the majority of all mortgage valuations of private residential property in the United States of America, the appraisal itself is almost always stated on standardized forms. For example, one of the most common reporting forms is the Uniform Residential Appraisal Report. Although, a real estate appraisal that may be more complicated because of the nature or type of property such as income producing lands, raw land, industrial lands, protected lands, etc., are most often stated in longer and specific narrative appraisal reports.

Naturally, it may be more vital to understand the differences between ‘market value’ and ‘price.’ A price that is gotten for a property, for instance, may or may not actually represent what that property's market value actually is, which is much more relative to many other considerations. For example, if a buyer is fine with paying a premium more than the common market value it may be because the property in question has important value for investment or development purposes that will increase the desire to pay more for it. For instance, if a shopping mall developer is interested in a large area of land for a big shopping mall, they may pay much more than the ordinary value to a land owner not desiring to sell some property in the first place. To entice the property owner, a bigger and bigger price may be attached to it, thus making it difficult to pass up. Of course, values can then be assigned differently based on the investor’s needs or vision, despite what the property may appear to be worth.
