Finite SolutionsCertified Residential AppraisalsTypes of residential appraisals
From a standard home or condominium to an ocean-access estate or equestrian property, the scope and market evidence must fit the real property being appraised.
Property-specific analysis
Property characteristics are not valued by a universal price list. We study how buyers respond to those features within the subject’s competitive market.
A detached home involves both the improvements and the land beneath them. We consider layout, living area, quality of construction, condition, updating, pools, roofing, HVAC, solar panels, generators, external influences, easements, and other factors that may affect buyer appeal and marketability.
A condominium requires both unit-level and project-level analysis. Condition, floor, view, balcony, parking, laundry, elevators, security, amenities, monthly fees, special assessments, reserves, restrictions, building age, and planned renovations can all influence the market.
Townhomes and villas often combine features of detached homes and condominiums. We consider association structure, land ownership, exterior-maintenance responsibility, common walls, end-unit appeal, yards, windows, parking, amenities, and recurring dues.
Duplexes, triplexes, and four-unit properties can require more than a comparison of recent sales. Unit mix, leases, market rent, occupancy, expenses, reserves, condition, and investor demand may be relevant to the applicable sales and income approaches.
Distinctive properties are marketed to specialized buyers. Water access, bridge clearance, dockage, views, lot utility, guest homes, elevators, custom recreational amenities, barns, paddocks, fencing, irrigation, ponds, accessibility, and proximity to equestrian facilities may require a broader search for meaningful data.
Some assignments require a historical effective date or a limited observation of the property. The intended use, available information, property type, and reliability needed determine whether a retrospective, exterior, or desktop scope is appropriate. We explain the scope and limitations before accepting the assignment.
