Bay Area Date of Death Appraiser › Santa Clara Date of Death Appraisal › Historical Appraisal
A historical appraisal focuses on market evidence from an earlier period rather than today's pricing. The effective date determines which sales and conditions are relevant.
Older residential neighborhoods coexist with attached housing communities and newer infill development. Historical analysis should reflect the housing choices available to buyers during the period being studied.
Property type, neighborhood identity, HOA characteristics, lot utility, and condition can separate one historical sale from another even when both occurred during the correct year.
Employment patterns, Caltrain, freeway access, major development, and activity around Levi's Stadium may influence buyer behavior differently from one historical period to another.
