Class Evaluation Process
- Combination review of AVM + Appraiser assisted review of data to increase confidence score of AVM
- Value should ALWAYS be within the range of the sales chosen
- Value conclusion is based on similarities/differences of all comps selected
- Algorithm compares subject property to the comparable property’s characteristics
- Takes into consideration when sales are viewed but not added to the grid
- Appraiser is expected to review comps and provide a “thumbs up or thumbs down” within the evaluation tool as well as a reason for why a comp is inferior/superior
- If an opinion of value is ever derived and it is not within the range of sales, it could be because all sales are inferior or superior to the subject property
- This should only really occur when a property is on large acreage, when the analyst reveals these results, they should stop work and contact Class Valuation and not proceed with the report, it will not increase the confidence score and therefore makes the product obsolete.
- The analyst also may not have changed the regression analysis tool from “Sub-Market” to “Comparables”
- The system defaults to “Sub-Market,” if this is not updated to “Comparables” the and sales in the “data” tab of the tool, and it could produce an invalid opinion of value.
- Comp filters also much be reviewed to avoid using comps older than 12 months, the analyst must adjust this manually on all reports prior to determining their comp selection
- Filters for the graph analysis are also controlled by the analyst to close the gap on the data shown within the report, our main analyst starts with +/-25% GLA within 25% of the subject’s lot size and brackets the bedroom and bathroom count.
- Lastly, the analyst will review all sales within the ranges based on how they’ve filtered the report tool and view comparable photos to see if comps have been renovated, have similar features (pools, spas, garages, style, etc.) based on this review, the best 3-5 sales within the 12-month period are chosen.
- The analyst do their best to produce a >90 confidence score, they’ll start with 3 comps, and if the confidence score is not 90 or above, they will add 2 additional sales to increase the confidence score within the report.
