Clients often ask for a “backdated appraisal” when they discover later that they need a property value from an earlier date. The appraisal is prepared today with a clearly stated prior effective date.
The report date identifies when the appraisal was prepared. The effective date identifies when the value applies. The report itself is not falsely dated in the past.
Historical sales are evaluated in the context of the property itself. Lafayette's sloped sites, irregular usable areas, private access, views, and custom improvements can make a superficially nearby sale a poor historical comparison.
Remodeling, additions, repairs, landscaping, or site improvements completed after the effective date should be separated from the property that existed when the requested value applied.
