Seminar Objectives
The program focuses on developing a sound market analysis that supports the highest and best use conclusion. It is accomplished by an inferred demand market study that is used when valuing commonly traded properties in a stable market where sales and rentals occur routinely. This program is relevant for both residential and general appraisers. All appraisers are expected to gather, research and analyze market information using peer tested and industry approved methods and techniques. An inferred market study is applicable for many types of residential and non-residential properties in various communities throughout New Jersey.
Market analysis precedes and supports the highest and best use conclusion(s) which extend into the three approaches to value and the reconciliation. This short program will help attendees prepare and communicate more effectively findings upon which analyses are based by understanding what areas should be researched, data to gather, and analysis to undertake regardless of the appraisal report’s communication format.
This program will offer techniques to rate and evaluate the property’s appeal in the market. The process is capsulize in a six step process. The concept of market analysis is required in all assignments and is a Scope of Work decisions. It supports the highest and best use which is overtly required by Standard Rule 1-3. The current edition of USPAP focused on the responsibility of an appraiser to analyze property productivity factors. Checking a box is no longer adequate.
This educational program will be a review for season practitioners and an introduction to appraisers how to use peer tested and industry accepted techniques and procedures. The goal is achieved using interactive discussions interspersed with examples to practice and better understand core concepts. An appraiser should strive to exceed minimum standards outlined in USPAP.
The program will challenge both new and seasoned practitioners. It will offer guidance in generating meaningful market analysis that support the highest and best use conclusion. The goal is to enhance the practitioner’s skill level to prepare well documented and supported appraisal services.
The audience is expected to consist of new and experienced field and review appraisers as well as users of appraisal services. Attendees are expected to be familiar with USPAP and general appraisal theory. This allows key topics to be explored in greater detail. The program is flexibly designed to enhance communication styles and generate meaningful discussion about key appraisal issues which should strengthen the industry and protects the general public.
