A historical appraisal develops a property value for an earlier date using evidence from the market period relevant to the assignment.
Historical sales, property records, photographs, listings, and market trends may be needed to reconstruct conditions from years or decades earlier.
Custom homes can be remodeled, expanded, rebuilt, or substantially altered over time. Historical valuation should separate later changes from the improvements and condition existing on the effective date.
The importance of views, privacy, lot utility, architecture, hillside characteristics, and competition with Los Gatos or Saratoga may change over time. Historical comparables should reflect how buyers viewed those features during the relevant period.
