This one definition is brimming with information and guidance in determining value, so let's take a look at the various elements of the definition. Looking at the first part of the definition, it states, "the monetary relationship between properties..." This means comparing the subject property with comparable items of like kind and quality. It is important to remember when comparing the subject property with comparable items, consideration of all physical characteristics and overall condition must be taken into account to establish a good relationship between the properties. This correlation between the various comparable items with the subject property helps to justify a value conclusion. If similar items under similar conditions are selling for X dollars, than it is reasonable to assume the subject property would sell for X dollars, supporting the value conclusion.
Continuing with the definition, "and those who buy, sell or use those properties." We take into consideration the context of the subject property and comparable properties. Does the subject property possess a certain provenance making it more desirable than other similar items? Is the subject property a rare example? Or was the subject property was mass-produced? This context provides a foundation for understanding the piece and its significance or lack thereof in the marketplace and will provide guidance in determining value. It is our job to understand if buyers are actively seeking out these properties and paying a premium, suggesting an uptick in the marketplace, or if the opposite is true, where there is a large supply and little demand, indicating declining value.
Take Victorian furniture for example. Knowing that the marketplace is inundated with pieces, causing a large supply coupled with a decrease in demand for such items, the values generally go down. However, each piece in an appraisal assignment is evaluated on its own to determine the monetary relationship between the subject property and comparable items to determine the qualified value.
The Comment after the value definition states value is never a fact because it is an economic concept based on an opinion as of a specific point in time in accordance with a specific value definition and must be qualified. The economic concept represents our value conclusion and is an opinion based on research of comparable items in the marketplace as of a specific point in time, taking into consideration the requirements of the value definition for the assignment. Our value opinions are qualified to indicate fair market value, retail replacement value, or other value depending on the assignment. These opinions are established at one point in time and are not to be used at any other point in time or for another qualified value.
In dealing with personal property, remember the various levels of trade for the huge variety of items you will be appraising. These levels include but are not limited to auctions, galleries, retail outlets, flea markets, consignment, garage sales, or the like. They will produce a variety of sales results and depending on the problem you are solving for your client, the selection of the proper marketplace is paramount in order to determine value and provide credible assignment results for your client.
