Formula Used
Appraisal Formula
The calculator uses the following formula to estimate property value:
Estimated Value = (Base Price × Size Factor × Feature Factor × Condition Factor × Age Factor) + Location Premium
- Base Price: Average price per square foot in the selected location
- Size Factor: Adjustment based on property size
- Feature Factor: Adjustment based on bedrooms and bathrooms
- Condition Factor: Adjustment based on property condition rating
- Age Factor: Adjustment based on property age
- Location Premium: Additional value based on neighborhood desirability
Worked Example
Let's calculate the value of a 1,500 sq ft property in a moderate neighborhood with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, rated 4/5 condition, built in 2005.
| Factor | Value |
|---|---|
| Base Price | $200/sq ft |
| Size Factor | 1.10 |
| Feature Factor | 1.15 |
| Condition Factor | 1.05 |
| Age Factor | 0.98 |
| Location Premium | $15,000 |
The calculation would be:
($200 × 1,500) × 1.10 × 1.15 × 1.05 × 0.98 + $15,000 = $350,000
This example shows how the calculator combines multiple factors to arrive at an estimated value.
