For a sample appraisal report, email you request to jack127@att.net.
All appraisals reports have a 2 year market value history, and also the last 6 month value history. All reports have the MLS value range(s) of active, pending and closed sales. All report have the market median and average dollar values. The dollar and percentage values for said time periods.
Example; The Subject is a single family 1 story brick, 3 bedroom, 2 baths, full finished basement, 2 car garage, age 20 years, in map coordinates W= 12, N=3
The first value would be for all of the Single Family units in the market, ie number of sales, ranges for the past year, the median value, the average value, and the dom (days on market). 2nd value range is for the prior year, also the number of sales, value range, median value, average value, dom. Then compared the median and average value for the past 2 year. There will be a increase and/or decrease in value by numbers and percentage.
The second value range could be for all the 1 story brick , and/or 3 bedroom, 2 bath. The third value range could be, 1 story brick, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, finished basement, 2 car garage. The fourth value range could be for 1 story brick, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, finished basement, 2 car garage, in map coordinates.
I keep braking down the value ranges based on the data for the subject. Each value break down also has the "most" number of sales value range by numbers and percent of sales.
The last value break down is for the residential market in the past 2 years, and past 6 months, ie; single family, attached, and 2-4 units. This data will tell me if the market values are increasing, decreasing, and/or stable
When I finished the appraisal report the numbers will tell me market value for the subject property.
