Clayton Retrospective Appraisal
A Clayton retrospective appraisal reconstructs the competitive residential market that existed on an earlier effective date to develop a supported historical value.

A retrospective appraisal develops value for a date that has already passed. The conclusion should reflect the market existing on that effective date.
Historical buyers may have compared established Clayton neighborhoods, newer development, larger-lot property, hillside homes, and competing housing outside the city when appropriate.
Slope, views, usable lot area, open-space adjacency, access, and foothill setting can make two geographically close properties very different substitutes.
When similar buyers historically considered comparable homes in adjacent Concord-area markets, those transactions may provide more meaningful evidence than a weaker sale inside Clayton.
