Many Date of Death appraisal assignments in Sacramento can be completed as desktop appraisals when the property is reasonably straightforward and sufficient market data is available. The analysis may rely on MLS history, public records, prior listings, aerial imagery, comparable sales, and historical market conditions.
A desktop format may be appropriate for estate, probate, trust, and stepped-up basis assignments when the appraisal problem can be solved without an interior inspection. The key question is whether the available information is sufficient to support a credible opinion of value as of the date of death.
Sacramento often has substantial MLS activity, but not all sales are equally comparable. The appraiser must still evaluate property type, neighborhood segment, condition, lot utility, external influences, and whether the historical sales reflect the same buyer pool as the subject property.
Some Sacramento properties may require an exterior inspection, additional photos, more detailed research, or an expanded scope of work. This can occur with unusual properties, urban condominium assignments, historic homes, larger sites, significant condition issues, or properties with limited comparable sales near the effective date.
