Part 1: How To Determine Land Value

How do you determine land value when there are no land sales? How do you support your value, if you need to?
The value of all real estate is based on the value of land. In an appraisal analysis, land value is the single most important component. With a solid land value the quality and credibility of the appraisal is improved. The sales comparison and cost approaches require solid land value conclusions in order to produce a quality product and stay trouble free.
It doesn’t matter where the property is, the land component can be the single most important adjustment in the appraisal. For some properties land value can be 20% of the total market value. For other homes, land can represent 95% of the total market value. Getting it right is vital to avoiding problems.

• Highest and Best Use Analysis as Vacant;
