Reconciliation of Value by the
Comparable Sales Approach
Reference Materials from: The New York State Board of Equalization & Assessment, now known as The New
York State Department of Taxation & Finance.
Income Approach
Direct Capitalization:
The conversion of anticipated net income into
present value by dividing the income of an
appropriate rate which reflects the prevailing
relationship of net income to selling price for
comparable properties being sold in the open
market.

Cost Approach
In the cost approach, a property
is valued based on a comparison
with the cost to build a new or
substitute property. The cost
estimate is adjusted for the
depreciation evident in the
existing property.
76
Cost Methodologies
77
What the Costs Contain
78
How is data collected?
Marshall & Swift
• Monitors the factors that drive the cost of construction
and tracks actual building component
• Gathers wage rates from all major labor trades and
studies crew sizes and productivity rates for the
personnel necessary for the installation of
components.
• We collect specific costs for labor, materials and
installed components, establishing the “Building by
Component” and “Building by Example” methods of
estimating.
79
Who uses it?
• Independent appraisers
• Insurance companies
• Savings and loan associations
• Banks
• Architects,
• Developers,
• Accountants
• Assessors
• Engineers
80
Determining Occupancy
Office buildings are buildings designed for general
commercial occupancy, including administrative
government and corporate uses, and are normally
subdivided into relatively small units.
81
Determining Building Class
Class C buildings are characterized by masonry or
reinforced concrete (including tilt-up) construction.
82
Determining Quality
• First, to judge quality, it is suggested that the
cheapness or expensiveness of materials or
components be observed.
• Second, see if workmanship is at a level normal
to the type and grade of material used.
• Third, and most important, the user should
consider the amount of the various components
typical for its class.
83
Determining Quality con’t
• Observe cheapness or expensiveness of materials
84
Determining Quality con’t
• See if workmanship is at a level normal to the type
and grade of material used.
85
Determining Quality con’t
User should consider the amount of the various
components typical for its class.
• Look for more than the average number of windows, doors and
plumbing fixtures
86
Selecting Initial Cost
• Define your class of construction followed by quality. Use
descriptions to best identify ingredients used in your structure.
87
Refinements
• These adjustments influence costs to a greater degree than
other components.
88
Refinements con’t
• Current Cost Multiplier adjusts for time
89
Depreciation
• Select the correct Life expectancy followed by the effective
Age to determine Physical depreciation of structure

Final Reconciliation of Values
Reexamine the entire appraisal process to confirm:
• Consistent application of the approaches applies
(comparables used and adjustments calculated)
• The highest & best use conclusions upon which each
approach is based
• The defined value estimated in each approach
• The real property interests being appraised
Final Reconciliation of Values
Reconciliation requires:
• Appraisal judgment
• Careful, logical analysis of procedures that lead to
each valuation indication
• Appropriateness, accuracy and quantity of evidence
are the criteria with which an appraiser forms a
meaningful, defensible final opinion of value.
Final Defense of Value
• All approaches can be explained to Board, Court etc.
after reconciliation
– Preparing the reconciliation will be helpful when
summarizing the case
• All three approaches may or may not point to the
same value conclusion
– If they do not, the appraiser should explain why
and present additional evidence if applicable
