The Cost Approach was not developed because the subject is a 

previously occupied residential property and market participants 

do not rely on this approach for similar homes. Its omission does 

not affect the credibility of the value conclusion.

The site value for this home has been determined 

by the sale of vacant parcels in the immediate and/or general area or has been extracted from allocated percentages of neighborhood 

homes.

The income approach was not developed as single family residences in this area 

are primarily owner occupied.

The Cost Approach was not developed because the subject is a 

previously occupied residential property and market participants 

do not rely on this approach for similar homes. Its omission does 

not affect the credibility of the value conclusion.

The site value for this home has been determined 

by the sale of vacant parcels in the immediate and/or general area or has been extracted from allocated percentages of neighborhood 

homes.

The income approach was not developed as single family residences in this area 

are primarily owner occupied.
