Characteristics of Value

Demand - need or desire of property

Market Value vs Market Price

Value = the actual worth of property


Price = Amount sold for

Basic Principals of Value

Anticipation: Anticipation of an event occurring


Change: Any change to the property (Natural Disaster, etc.)


Competition: supply and demand


Conformity: Changing to the standards of its surroundings


: Changing to the standards of its surroundings


Contribution: Money put into updating the essentails of property (kitchen, bathroom, etc.)


Highest and Best Use: most profitable and single use of property

Increasing and diminishing returns

Law of increasing returns: as long as money is spent improving the property, the value continues to increase until it reaches it's full potential



Law of diminishing returns: Once a property reaches its highest point of value (nothing more can be done to the property) then the value starts to diminish.

Plottage / Assemblage

Assemblage: Consolidating adjacent lots into a single larger property.


Ex: Selling a much larger unit could get more money than selling two smaller units. Two owners may decide to consolidate their property and sell it as one for more money.



Plottage: The value merged property



Regression and Progression

Value of property can either go up (Profression) or go down (Regression).


Ex: Surroundings can affect value of property. HOA

Cost Approach: How much it will cost to update the property

Gross Rent or Gross Income Multipliers

 Used as a guideline for estimation of value (Based on sales price and rental income) o Gross Rent Multiplier (GRM): Approximation of value based on monthly  GRM = Sales Price / Monthly Gross Rent o Gross Income Multiplier (GIM): Approximation based on annual income  GIM = Sales Price / Annual Gross Income
