Current Market Property Value
What Is a Property Valuation Report?
• A property valuation report is a professional document 
that provides an assessed market value for a property at a 
specified valuation date.
• It combines property inspection, market research, 
comparable sales and professional valuation analysis.
• A report can support financial, legal, taxation, lending and 
property decision-making.
Current Market Value Explained
• Current market value reflects what a property could 
reasonably sell for in the open market between a willing 
buyer and willing seller, acting without undue influence.
• A professional valuation provides an evidence-based 
assessment rather than a simple online estimate or agent 
opinion.
Why a Current Market Valuation Matters
• Helps owners understand realistic market value
• Supports purchase and sale decisions
• Can help assess property equity
• May be required for mortgage security
• Supports selected taxation and legal purposes
• Provides objective evidence for negotiations
What Is Included in a Valuation Report?
Typical report information can include:
• Property identification and description
• Land and improvements
• Location and zoning
• Property size and condition
• Relevant risks and influences
• Comparable sales evidence
• Market analysis
• Valuation methodology
• Assessed market value
Property Inspection
• The valuer considers the physical characteristics and 
condition of the property.
• Factors may include accommodation, land area, building 
quality, age, renovations, improvements, access, 
presentation and other characteristics that influence 
market appeal and value.
Location & Land Factors
• Location can materially influence property value.
• The assessment may consider zoning, surrounding 
development, accessibility, local amenities, transport, 
environmental considerations, land characteristics and 
the broader property market.
Comparable Sales Analysis
• Comparable sales are an important source of market 
evidence.
• The valuer researches relevant transactions and interprets 
similarities and differences between comparable 
properties and the subject property.
• The objective is to establish an evidence-based indication 
of market value.
Key Market Influences
Property value can be affected by:
• Supply and demand
• Interest rates and financing conditions
• Local economic conditions
• Market volatility
• Buyer preferences
• Planning and zoning
• Property condition
• Recent comparable transactions
Direct Comparison Approach
• The Direct Comparison Approach assesses the subject 
property against comparable properties and interprets 
relevant differences.
• It is particularly useful for residential property where 
sufficient comparable market evidence is available.
Summation Approach
• The Summation Approach can provide an additional 
valuation check.
• It considers the underlying land value and the 
depreciated value of improvements, where appropriate.
• The methodology should be selected and applied by a 
suitably qualified valuer.
Capitalisation of Net Income
• For income-producing property, capitalisation of net 
income may be used as a valuation approach.
• The valuer considers sustainable net income and an 
appropriate capitalisation rate supported by market 
evidence.
Short-Form vs Long-Form Reports
• Short-form reports are commonly suitable for many 
straightforward valuation requirements.
• Long-form reports contain more detailed information and 
analysis and may be appropriate for litigation, high-value 
property or situations requiring greater reporting detail.
• The appropriate report format depends on the purpose 
and complexity.
Property Valuation for Buying
• A pre-purchase valuation can help buyers understand the 
property's market position before committing.
• It can provide independent evidence to support 
negotiation and help identify whether an asking price 
appears consistent with market evidence.
Property Valuation for Selling
• A current market valuation can help sellers establish a 
realistic understanding of value.
• Pricing materially above market may reduce buyer 
interest, while pricing too low may leave money on the 
table. Independent valuation evidence can support a 
more informed strategy.
Mortgage & Equity Decisions
• Banks may require property valuations for mortgage 
security.
• An independent current market valuation can also help 
owners understand equity when considering refinancing, 
portfolio planning or other property decisions.
Legal, Tax & Estate Uses
Property valuation reports may be required or 
useful for:
• Capital gains tax
• Stamp duty
• Deceased estates and probate
• Family law/property settlements
• Separation
• Litigation
• Superannuation funds
• Retrospective valuation requirements
