This is a question that we are asked almost daily. It can be an incredibly easy question to answer and it can also be like predicting the winning PowerBall numbers. The process, as simple as it should be, is a very subjective one from one Realtor to another and from one appraiser to another. "But I thought an appraisal was a methodical process built on systems and data?" It is, and then you inject subjectivity and it can become clear as mud. I joke to a degree, but it can vary greatly and become a very complicated process depending on the data available.
We pride ourselves on using ALL the data available to us to provide you with a market analysis on your cabin. 95% of that process is based solely on black and white data based off of things like the resort your cabin is in, or not in, # of beds/baths, square footages, and most importantly, past recent sales of similar properties. The other 5% includes variables like recent updates, upgrades, enhancements, etc. These things will mean very little to an appraiser, but they do have value to a Seller and a Buyer.
You can see a sample CMA below. That is the exact format you will receive in your email should you chose to fill out the form above and have us perform an analysis of your property. The report is framed in a separate window below so you can scroll through the report itself as long as your cursor is inside the report window.
I would also encourage you to sign up to receive market reports. We are the only ones in the area that will provide you with SOLD data. This is priceless information and makes it very east to keep track of your investment. We have several preset market reports HERE, but you can also create custom ones yourself. These reports can be emailed to you at a frequency of your choice. We recommend monthly.
