Appraisal value can be reached using 3 different approaches: Cost, Market (sales comparison), and Income. The last is only used for income properties.

The Cost Approach reflects what it would theoretically cost you to go out in today's market, buy the land, and have the current structure built, and then allows for a discount based on the age of the building. The Market Approach is based on the sale of comparable properties in the same area. The appraiser finds similar properties, finds out what they have sold for, and then adjusts for a higher or lower value based on the differences between these properties and your house (location, size, amenities, etc.).

Based on the info you've given, the appraiser has concluded that it's not economically feasible in your area to build new properties. However, if you're buying for $6M less than the value comparables would indicate, then it appears you're getting a good deal. Hope that helps - good luck.

I 2nd the question, what financial enterprise did no longer require an appraisal to coach that they weren't loaning you extra money than the homestead grew to become into well worth on the time? As for the maintenance, pumps fail, roofs leak, and that they've been of course working once you moved in. you haven't any longer any info that those products have been broken once you purchased the region, nor do you have info that the business enterprise knew. Even an inspection does no longer have fortold the destiny mess ups, and an inspectors criminal accountability is constrained to the fee of the inspection, no longer something greater. As for the septic tank, except it is cracked on the factor (surprisingly no longer likely except there grew to become into an earthquake), i will think of of no reason it would ever would desire to get replaced. The lid can crack if ran over via a large truck (some hundred to interchange), and the leach field can grow to be clogged via pouring grease and foodstuffs down the drain, yet those are issues that construct up over some years and are not something the business enterprise would have customary approximately. regrettably (for you), you get carry of an previous homestead. All properties will choose maintenance, you basically offered the homestead at a time whilst those maintenance have been coming due extremely of having the few years harm you will have on a sparkling homestead. i'm sorry, yet no longer something you have mentioned right here shows you have any declare against the business enterprise.

What is the difference? Simple answer $79,200.

Seriously though, the sales comparison is what's important for the purpose of a purchase. It says that on the open market, the seller should reasonably be able to hold out for $95,000. So you're getting a real good deal - be happy. Be very happy.

The other number is what you'll probably want to insure it for. That's what the appraiser thinks it'll cost to re-build should that be needed.

The first is the price the appraiser thinks is a good price for the area. Generally it reflects what a house in the area will sell for.

The second is the cost to build your house from the ground up, in todays economy (Cost of labor - supplies - material- permits - and on and on). This figure is important because You should insure the house for the full replacement value.

I had a fire at my house, the replacement value was $350,000. The mortgage was $120,000 and the insurance was $123,000. The insurance company paid $123,000 - if I did not know what I was doing I would of had $3,000 to repair my house.

Near the end of the report you should see a page that has the appriaser's signature and stamp. The value you see there is the appraised value used for your home loan. (This is subject to appraisal review via your lender)

It appears to be the difference of the value of the property to buy / sell, and the cost to rebuild that property if it was destroyed.
(therefore you would get a brand new property)
