Novato Retrospective Appraisal
A Novato retrospective appraisal reconstructs the competitive residential market that existed on an earlier effective date.
Bay Area Date of Death Appraiser › Novato Date of Death Appraisal › Retrospective Appraisal
A retrospective appraisal develops value for a date that has already passed using market conditions and buyer behavior existing on that effective date.
Historical buyers may have considered older central neighborhoods, suburban subdivisions, Hamilton, attached housing, hillside property, or larger rural-edge sites depending on the subject.
A nearby sale may not compete with the subject if it belongs to a different housing type, development era, project, or physical setting.
Property type, development age, lot utility, condition, HOA characteristics, topography, access, and open-space influence help determine which historical transactions deserve the most weight.
