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

A retrospective appraisal values property as of a date that has already passed. The analysis reflects the market on that effective date rather than conditions existing when the report is completed.
Historical analysis should identify the properties buyers actually considered alternatives at the time, including waterfront homes, golf-course properties, subdivisions, gated neighborhoods, and attached housing where relevant.
Dock and water access, view quality, shoreline characteristics, lot utility, condition, and neighborhood identity can sharply narrow the useful historical comparable set.
Retrospective analysis follows buyer competition rather than distance alone. A farther sale with similar waterfront or development characteristics may provide better evidence than a nearby sale from another segment.
