III. Valuation Methodology
A. Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)
The primary method used for this valuation is the Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), which considers recent sales of similar properties within a 5-mile radius. This method evaluates key property features, including the number of rooms, amenities, age of construction, and overall condition. The comparative properties are all located within Springfield’s upscale residential areas, ensuring accurate market-based pricing.
-
Analysis of recent sales within a 5-mile radius: Properties sold within the last 12 months (2059–2060) were analyzed.
-
Assessment of property features compared to comparable sales: Emphasis on property condition, location, and proximity to key amenities such as schools, public parks, and transportation.
B. Cost Approach
In addition to the CMA, the Cost Approach was employed, particularly useful given the property's recent construction in 2050. This method calculates the replacement cost of constructing a similar property, factoring in depreciation. It provides an additional layer of valuation, ensuring that the assessed value is realistic and balanced.
-
Calculation of replacement cost: Based on current construction costs for similar structures in Springfield.
-
Deduction of depreciation factors: Given the property's newness and recent renovations, depreciation is minimal.
IV. Market Analysis
The Springfield real estate market in 2050 has remained stable, with a steady 2-4% annual increase in property values. Factors driving this stability include a booming local economy, an influx of tech-based industries, and a growing demand for high-quality residential properties. Additionally, improvements in transportation infrastructure, including the introduction of autonomous public transit systems, have further boosted property values in prime areas.
Recent changes in interest rates by federal regulators have slightly dampened buyer activity, particularly for speculative investors. However, strong demand from families and retirees ensures continued interest in residential properties like this one.
-
Economic Growth: Springfield’s economy has grown by 5% annually over the last five years, driven primarily by the tech and renewable energy sectors.
-
Population Influx: An increase in population has bolstered demand for new residential housing.
-
Interest Rate Impact: While the national interest rate increased by 0.5% in mid-2050, the real estate market shows resilience, with sustained interest in residential properties.
