East Bay Date of Death Appraiser › San Mateo County Date of Death Appraisal › Retrospective Appraisal
A retrospective appraisal determines the fair market value of real estate as of a prior effective date. These reports are also known as retrospective valuations, historical valuations, or prior date valuations and are intended to develop a supported retrospective opinion of value.
The retrospective appraisal product should be built around the effective date. Comparable sales, market conditions, and buyer behavior should be analyzed through retrospective analysis to develop a credible retrospective real estate valuation supported by historical market evidence.
San Mateo County includes Peninsula, coastal, waterfront, hillside, and Silicon Valley-influenced markets. These differences can materially affect retrospective valuation conclusions and the support required for a prior date valuation.
