How we reach a value
Most assignments weigh one or more of the three recognized approaches to value. Read the plain-English guide.
Sales Comparison approach
We compare the property with similar properties that recently sold, adjusting for the differences.
Cost approach
We estimate what it would cost to replace the improvements, less depreciation, plus the land value.
Income approach
For income-producing property, we convert expected cash flow into value using market capitalization or discount rates.
