Excerpt from a 2021 appraisal: The subject is a very unique home in the fact it is undergoing a complete remodel which is adding a lot of square footage and includes high end finishes throughout. There are very few ranch style homes in the area that have similar square footage and have similar updating and are in similar condition. Due to limited sales and desirability of the market often prices are not consistent. Due to the limited availability of sales and other factors that may have contributed to the sale price that the appraiser may not be aware of may have contributed to the larger range or gap in the adjusted sale prices. The appraiser has taken the most similar 5 sales in location and different similarities to the subject and averaged these to come up with the most probable price. The opinion of value is developed with some weight was placed on Comps #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5. Comps #1, #2, and #3 have all recently been completely remodeled and updated with high end finishes similar to the subjects, comps #1 and #4 were the best available sales in the area with similar square footage to the subjects and comp #1 was the only sale with the same total bedroom count when you include its conforming basement bedroom, comps #2 and #3 have the same total bathroom count with the other comps bracket the subjects bathroom count. These six comps bracket the subjects lot size. All six are located in the same neighborhood and very importantly they all feed into the Cherry Creek school district and Cherry Creek High School. Comps #2 and #5 are both located on the same street and same block as the subject. All five sales closed within four months of the effective date with comps #1 and #5 being the most recent sales having closed in the two months prior to the effective date of this appraisal. There were few similar active or under contract homes in the area, which is a driving factor in the areas increasing market, comps #6, #7, and #8 were the best available at the time of inspection. They provide further support to the appraised value but are not given any weight due to not being closed sales. Many of the gross and net adjustments are higher than typical, this is due to the uniqueness of the subject as far as square footage and updating, it is also located in a market that has seen a large increase in values over the last six months, this is also a factor in the subjects appraised value being higher than the unadjusted sales prices of the comparables.
