The Effective Date Controls the Appraisal

A retrospective appraisal is prepared today but answers a valuation question from an earlier date. The property and market must be analyzed from the perspective of that historical period.

Reconstructing the Earlier Market

Historical sales and market activity are analyzed directly rather than taking today's Moraga value and simply adjusting it backward.

Project and Community Identity Can Matter

Moraga includes planned developments and distinct residential communities such as Moraga Country Club. HOA characteristics, property type, amenities, and buyer expectations should be considered as they existed on the historical effective date.

Reconstructing the Property

Later additions, remodeling, repairs, deterioration, or site changes must be separated from the characteristics that existed when the historical value applied.
