APPRAISAL FOUNDATION STANDARDS This appraisal has been prepared to conform to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), adopted by the Appraisal Foundation. PURPOSE AND DATE OF APPRAISAL The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the market value of the subject property, as of February 29, 1996, for your planning purposes. The definition of market value which follows is taken from Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) instructions, adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation. "The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby-" McGRATH, BASCIANI 7 & ASSOCIATES Market Value Definition. Continued. ” 1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated. 2. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best interests. 3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market. 4. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto. 5. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale." In rendering an estimate of market value, the appraisers have considered various marketplace factors affecting the value of real property. Among several criteria, we have considered typical financing patterns, its "R-1.5A" zoning, development capacity of the 11,622± square foot site, neighborhood characteristics and influences, and availability and sufficiency of municipal utilities and services. We have also considered overall marketability of the property. Each of these criteria has been carefully considered and, when viewed as a whole, provide for the formulation of intelligent, considered, and informed value conclusions, within the context of the definition of market value presented above.
