I thought they sold Audiobooks

Although its sad but statistically true, the number of homeless people counted from parking meter to downtown condo. In San Diego, from Broadway to Market St (4 blocks), its no joke but the count is often in the high dozens.

Seek the truth.

Although valid questions, the convenience of micro analysis in only a localized area helps the appraiser remain compliant with unbiased non judgemental language, and still provide realistic value analysis which incorporates area appeals, or lack there of. Those conditions would not be limited to just the one block, but rather would be apparent neighborhood wide. Buyers are clearly aware of this and if not, caveat emptor, it’s not the appraisers responsibility to help them make lifestyle decisions or measure acceptable living standards, that is the realty agents job and the buyers responsibility themselves. The convenient part of local analysis is that regardless if good or bad, the influence of the external conditions are theoretically already reflected in current sales prices. Hence the importance of not selecting comps beyond the local market area. The appraiser need only be concerned with value. You could say negative directly fronting commercial and apply a little adjust, beyond that, a non issue. Reasons why I stay focused on micro analysis and the local area. Instead of talking larger area statistics, talk about the high low margins of price and value potential, home type variances, and basic quality standards in ‘the target research area’. Clearly defined, place a value number on it, on to the next one.
