Minnesota Real Estate Appraisers-Approaches to Appraisal


Minnesota real estate appraisers approach determing the fair market value of a property with a one, two, three punch.

The cost approach is also referred to as the summation approach by real estate appraisers. This approach works under the assumption that the value of a property may be simply figured out by summing the value of it's land and the decipreciated value of any alterations to the home. It is generally the not so pretty alterations, holes in the walls, mold beneath the floor boards, collasping ceilings, that are taken into consideration during this appraisal approach.

Minnesota Real Estate Appraisers-Sales Comparision Approach


The sales comparision approach works just as it sounds like it would.
