East Bay Date of Death Appraiser › Mountain View Date of Death Appraisal › Monta Loma
Monta Loma contains a substantial concentration of postwar and mid-century housing. Architectural identity, original design characteristics, roof form, glazing, floor plans, additions, and remodeling may create a buyer segment different from more conventional Mountain View housing.
An original mid-century residence can compete differently from a substantially remodeled property or a home whose original design has been extensively altered. Buyer reaction to condition and modernization should be derived from comparable market evidence.
Additions may increase living area without necessarily providing the same functional utility or architectural integration as the original dwelling. Bedroom layout, circulation, ceiling treatment, garage configuration, and indoor-outdoor relationships may all influence marketability.
Site orientation, privacy, outdoor space, landscaping, street position, and relationship to surrounding improvements can affect how buyers compare otherwise similar Monta Loma homes.
A conventional home outside the same architectural buyer segment may provide weaker evidence than a property sharing similar design, condition, size, floor-plan utility, and neighborhood identity.
Historical valuation should reflect the subject's condition and configuration as of the effective date. Remodeling, additions, and other changes completed later should not be attributed to the historical property.
