About Market Value Calculator

Understanding Market Value

The art and science of property valuation dates back to ancient civilizations, where land assessors in Egypt used early surveying techniques to value properties after annual Nile floods. Modern real estate appraisal emerged in the late 19th century with the establishment of the first real estate boards and the development of systematic approaches to property valuation. Today's methods combine traditional comparative analysis with sophisticated statistical modeling and machine learning techniques to deliver more accurate valuations.

Mathematical Foundation

Base Adjustment = (Subject Feature - Comp Feature) × Rate
Price/SF Adjustment = (Subject SF - Comp SF) × (Comp Price/Comp SF)
Time Adjustment = Sale Price × (Market Change%/12) × Months
Location Factor = Base Price × Neighborhood Index
Reconciled Value = Weighted Average of Adjusted Comps

Statistical regression for adjustment rates
Time-series analysis for market trends
Hedonic pricing models for feature values
Geospatial analysis for location impacts
Machine learning for pattern recognition
Neural networks for automated valuations
