Stockton Backdated Appraisal
The phrase backdated appraisal is commonly used when someone needs to know what a Stockton property was worth on an earlier date, although the appraisal report itself is completed today.

People often use the term backdated appraisal when they need a property's value as of an earlier date. In appraisal terminology, this is generally a retrospective assignment: the report is completed on the current date while the value opinion applies to a clearly stated prior effective date.
A retrospective appraisal does not pretend the report was written in the past. The report identifies when it was completed and separately identifies the historical effective date being analyzed. This allows the appraiser to answer a prior-date valuation question while clearly documenting the scope of the assignment.
A prior-date valuation may be requested for a Date of Death, estate or trust matter, tax documentation, litigation, financial records, or another situation where today's property value does not answer the underlying question.
The appraisal considers comparable sales and market conditions relevant to the effective date. In Stockton, that also means identifying the correct neighborhood and buyer pool rather than using broad citywide averages or assuming that all historical sales competed with the subject.
