Question: 4 ( 6 0 points ) . Applegate Financial is attempting to determine the current market value of a residential property assuming fee simple ownership.

4(60 points). Applegate Financial is attempting to determine the current market value of a residential property assuming fee simple ownership. Table 1 presents information on the subject property and several recent (fee simple) transactions.
Make the following assumptions: larger homes increase price by $150 per square foot and house prices have increased by 0.9% per month (compounded) over the past year. Baldwin is the least desirable and Montgomery is the most desirable school district. Being in Fisher increases price by $32,000 relative to being in Baldwin, and being in Montgomery increases price by $38,000 relative to being in Baldwin. Also, if the subject property is sold today, personal property such as furniture and appliances worth $16,000 would be included and post-deal expenditures of $41,000 would be required by the purchaser (where post-deal expenditures refer to expenditures made immediately after purchase).
The replacement cost for the house is $178 per square foot and the property's land is valued at $423,000. Physical depreciation is estimated to be 6.0 percent of total replacement cost, functional obsolescence is estimated to be 5.0 percent of total replacement cost, and external obsolescence is estimated to be $20,000.
The subject property is in a community with a homestead exemption of $75,000.
