Bay Area Date of Death Appraiser › Santa Clara Date of Death Appraisal › Retrospective Appraisal
A retrospective appraisal develops value for an effective date that has already passed. The analysis reflects the market at that point in time rather than conditions existing when the report is written.
Historical analysis should identify what buyers could actually choose from on the effective date. Detached homes, attached housing, individual projects, and newer development may represent separate competitive markets.
Neighborhood identity, property type, HOA characteristics, condition, lot utility, and surrounding influences may make a farther historical sale more relevant than a nearby transaction.
Technology employment, transit access, freeway corridors, major development, and activity near Levi's Stadium should be analyzed according to their influence during the historical period being valued.
