What Is Real Estate Valuation?
Real estate valuation is the professional process of determining the market 
value of a property at a specified date.
A valuation considers:
•  Property characteristics
•  Land and improvements
•  Location
•  Market conditions
•  Comparable sales
•  Property use
•  Income potential where applicable
•  Relevant valuation methodology
West Coast Valuers describes a property valuation as an independent 
assessment of fair market value supported by extensive research and 
analysis.
Why Is Real Estate Valuation Important?
An accurate valuation can help property owners, buyers, investors and 
organisations make informed decisions.
Common benefits include:
•  Establishing market value
•  Supporting property transactions
•  Assessing investment decisions
•  Supporting taxation requirements
•  Determining mortgage security
•  Assisting legal matters
•  Assessing property equity
•  Supporting portfolio management
Professional interpretation of market evidence can help reduce the risk 
of relying solely on informal property estimates. 
Real Estate Valuation vs Market Appraisal
A real estate valuation is different from an informal market appraisal.
Professional valuation:
•  Prepared by a qualified valuer
•  Uses recognised valuation methodologies
•  Analyses relevant market evidence
•  Provides an independent opinion of value
•  Can be prepared for formal purposes
Market appraisal:
•  Often prepared by a real estate agent
•  Usually focused on potential selling price
•  May be used for marketing purposes
West Coast Valuers explains that property valuers provide independent 
valuation assessments, while real estate agents primarily focus on selling and 
marketing property.

•  Shopping facilities
•  Recreational amenities
•  Employment areas
•  Major roads

•  Age
•  Improvements
•  Sale date
•  Property use

West Coast Valuers identifies the Direct Comparison Approach as its most 
common valuation methodology, comparing the subject property against 
similar local properties and multiple variables.
Real Estate Valuation Methodologies
Different property types require different approaches.
West Coast Valuers identifies three principal 
methodologies:
1. Direct Comparison Approach
2. Summation Approach
3. Capitalisation of Net Income
The appropriate methodology depends on the property, 
available evidence and valuation purpose. 
Direct Comparison Approach
The Direct Comparison Approach compares the subject property 
with comparable properties.
The process can consider:
•  Recent comparable transactions
•  Location
•  Land characteristics
•  Building characteristics
•  Property condition
•  Market conditions
•  Other relevant variables
West Coast Valuers describes this as its most commonly used 
methodology for property valuations.
Summation Approach
The Summation Approach considers the value of land and 
improvements.
The assessment can involve:
•  Underlying land value
•  Replacement cost of improvements
•  Depreciation
•  Age of improvements
•  Overall property characteristics
West Coast Valuers states that this approach is used as an 
ancillary check by API-qualified property valuers. 
Capitalisation of Net Income
The Capitalisation of Net Income approach is particularly relevant to 
income-producing commercial property.
It considers:
•  Net rental income
•  Market rental evidence
•  Capitalisation rate
•  Comparable investment sales
•  Property-specific risks
•  Lease characteristics
West Coast Valuers states that this approach is reserved for commercial 
properties and capitalises net rental income at a rate derived from 
comparable sales.
Current Market Valuation
A current market valuation determines the property's market value at 
the relevant current valuation date.
It may be required for:
•  Property purchase
•  Property sale
•  Mortgage purposes
•  Investment decisions
•  Equity assessment
•  Taxation
•  Property settlement
West Coast Valuers explains that current market value represents the 
amount a property could reasonably achieve in an open market under 
appropriate conditions.
Retrospective Real Estate Valuation
A retrospective valuation determines the value of a property at a 
specified historical date.
It can be relevant to:
•  Capital Gains Tax
•  Deceased estates
•  Family law
•  Property settlements
•  Historical transactions
•  Taxation matters
•  Legal proceedings
West Coast Valuers specifically provides retrospective property 
valuations where a historical market value is required.

values for taxation purposes.
Potential applications include:

Pre-Purchase & Pre-Sale Valuation
A professional valuation can support property decisions before entering 
a transaction.
Pre-purchase benefits:
•  Understand market value
•  Support negotiations

Pre-sale benefits:

property offered as loan security.

•  Comparable sales
•  Market conditions
