Bay Area Date of Death Appraiser › Healdsburg Date of Death Appraisal › Retrospective Appraisal
A retrospective appraisal develops value for a date that has already passed. The conclusion should reflect market conditions and buyer behavior existing on that effective date.
Historical buyers may have compared older in-town homes, postwar neighborhoods, custom residences, hillside properties, attached housing, or larger sites depending on the property.
For distinctive or high-value property, the most relevant historical evidence may not be the nearest sale. The search should follow comparable buyer expectations and property utility.
Historic character, proximity to Downtown, lot utility, views, Russian River influence, privacy, architecture, condition, and agricultural-edge setting can separate otherwise nearby properties.
