Appraisal Distinctions
Below outlines the 4 approaches considered:
1. Soil Productivity Index (PI) Analysis
-
-
- A formula that creates an adjusted value based on the comparable farm’s sale price and its PI, compared to the subject farm’s PI.
-
2. Tillable Analysis
-
-
- A formula that creates an adjusted value based on the comparable farm’s sale price and its percent tillable, in comparison to the subject farm’s percent tillable.
-
3. Income Approach
-
-
- A return on investment calculation that formulates the price per acre based on the subject farm’s fair market rental income potential.
-
4. Real Estate Market Adjustment
-
-
- With the current volatility in the real estate market, we have designed a tool to help you get an accurate reflection of the market value of your property. Thanks to our direct link to a network of Real Estate Brokers we can make a justified +/- adjustment based on the compatible sales sold to date to the appraisal date.
-
A weighted analysis is cross referenced with the above adjustments to determine a specific farm’s value. The value of your land should never be guesswork.
