Bay Area Date of Death Appraiser › Moraga Date of Death Appraisal › Historical Appraisal
A historical appraisal may involve a value date years or decades before the report is prepared. Period sales and property evidence matter more than present-day assumptions.
Established homes may have been expanded or extensively remodeled, while newer development and changing improvement standards can alter how different properties compete. Today's market relationships should not automatically be projected backward.
Archived listings, public records, prior sales, photographs, and other available information can help establish the size, condition, improvements, and site characteristics that existed on the historical date.
Property type, neighborhood identity, lot utility, terrain, views, and condition should be considered within the Moraga market that existed during the period being valued.
