Retrospective Appraisal in Kentfield

A retrospective appraisal develops value for a date that has already passed using market conditions and buyer behavior existing on that effective date.

Kentfield Is Not One Historical Comparable Pool

Kent Woodlands hillside estates, lower-slope neighborhoods, established residential areas, and nearby Greenbrae properties may represent different buyer alternatives.

The Search May Extend Across the Ross Valley

For distinctive homes or limited historical sales, relevant evidence may extend beyond the immediate neighborhood when buyers would reasonably have considered competing locations.

Reconstruct Buyer Preferences, Not Just Old Sales

Topography, usable land, architecture, privacy, views, condition, access, and neighborhood setting help determine which historical transactions deserve the most weight.
