Subdivision Valuation

Valuing subdivisions presents unique challenges. This seminar provides a complete look at subdivision valuation methodology as it relates to improved subdivisions. Appraisers who provide opinions of value for proposed subdivisions or a group of existing lots or units will find this seminar a valuable source of reference material and ideas.

Participants will come away with advanced techniques appraisers need to value a group of lots or units that must be marketed over a period of time. Comprehensive examples explain how to handle line-item profit and discount rate selection in conjunction with discounted cash flow analysis. Ample coverage is given to typical problems encountered by appraisers in specific valuation scenarios.

This sets the stage for more detailed coverage of the income capitalization, sales comparison, and cost approach applications in subdivision valuation. Note. This seminar introduces valuation methodology applicable to improved subdivisions or groups of lots or units. It excludes mega projects and large mixed-use planned developments. Seminar examples use vacant lots for simplicity. This seminar provides coverage and examples of

• A group of existing lots
• Existing and proposed projects
• Phased projects and remaining land for future phases
• Valuation of typical suburban subdivisions
• All three approaches to value
• Marketability analysis using the six-step process
• Inferred method of market analysis (market study Levels A and B)
