Bay Area Date of Death Appraiser › Monte Sereno Date of Death Appraisal › Retrospective Appraisal
A retrospective appraisal develops an opinion of value for a date that has already passed. The analysis reflects the market on that effective date rather than today's pricing.
Historical sales, listings, market activity, property characteristics, and buyer behavior are analyzed from the perspective of the earlier period.
Some custom or luxury properties compete with portions of Los Gatos or Saratoga. A retrospective analysis should determine whether that overlap existed on the historical date rather than assume current market boundaries applied.
Views, privacy, topography, usable land, architectural quality, and condition can materially affect high-value properties. Their contribution should be supported by evidence from the relevant historical market.
