At RDOS Appraisals & Consulting, we understand that different land types require different appraisal approaches. Here's how we evaluate each category:
When conducting a land appraisal for industrial properties, we carefully analyze:
Location and accessibility to transportation networks
Zoning regulations and potential restrictions
Market demand for industrial space in the region
Comparable sales of similar industrial parcels
We utilize the sales comparison approach as our primary methodology, supplemented by the income approach when appropriate data is available.
For commercial parcels, our land appraisal process examines:
Traffic patterns and visibility
Demographics and consumer base
Competitive landscape
Development regulations and entitlements
Utilities and infrastructure availability
Our valuation typically combines the sales comparison approach with residual land value analysis to determine the highest and best use.
Mixed-use properties present unique appraisal challenges. Our approach includes:
Detailed analysis of potential development scenarios
Review of zoning allowances for combined uses
Assessment of market demand for each proposed component
Evaluation of similar mixed-use projects
Consideration of density bonuses and incentives
We often employ a land residual technique that calculates potential development value and deducts costs to arrive at an accurate land value.
For multi-family land appraisal, we focus on:
Unit density potential
Rental market trends and vacancy rates
Development costs specific to multi-family construction
Comparable land sales for similar projects
Local regulations affecting multi-family development
Our methodology typically combines sales comparison with a yield capitalization approach to determine investment potential.
Agricultural property valuations consider:
Soil quality and productivity potential
Water rights and irrigation systems
Improvements and infrastructure
Location relative to markets
Development potential and conservation easements
We employ specialized techniques that account for both agricultural productivity and potential highest and best use.
