RE: Restricted Appraisal regarding the estimated Market Value of portions of
existing 16 foot alleyways out of Blocks 793, 826, and 827 and portions of
West "D" Street, West "E" Street, West "F" Street, South 13th, South 14th and
South 15th Streets of the Town of La Porte, Harris County, Texas.
Dear Sirs:
In accordance with your request, I have inspected the following described property
for the purpose of estimating the Market Value following described property as
of the date of this Restricted Appraisal. As per our agreement, the data and
analysis is presented in an abbreviated Restricted Appraisal format and is not
intended to contain the full analysis.
BRIEF LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Known as portions of existing 16 foot alleyways out of Blocks 793, 826, and 827
and portions of West "D" Street, West "E" Street, West "F" Street, South 13th,
South 14th and South 15th Streets of the Town of La Porte, Harris County,
Texas per the site plan provided. (See Site plan in addenda).
At our client's request, the results of our investigation and analyses are being
presented via a Restricted Appraisal Report format as permitted by Standard 2-
2(b). A file memorandum is maintained in our office for review. The subject
property was inspected on July 15, 2014. I hereby certify that I have personally
inspected the property described via a street inspection and that all data gathered
by my investigation is from sources believed reliable and true. In preparing this
Restricted Appraisal, a study of comparable sales and other related market data
was performed.
.....Page 2 Continued......
It should clearly be understood that this letter only constitutes only a statement of
the final value and that does not presume to be the complete analysis of the subject
property nor a complete appraisal format and is subject to the preparation of a
detailed appraisal report.
The market values in the subject neighborhood appear to vary generally from +-
$2.00 PSF to over $4.00 PSF for tracts generally similar to the subject property
with locations that range from primary to secondary type roadways.
The “parent tracts” surrounding the subject parcels consists of commercial and
light industrial tracts. Most of these parcels are improved with office/warehouse
facility most with open storage yards. These sites are reported to have general
access public utilities. The site appears to be generally flat and level. The subject
properties and adjacent tracts are not located in the 100 year flood plain. The
adjacent properties are primarily improved with commercial and light industrial
office/warehouse properties some of which include large open paved or stabilized
yard areas. The Highest and Best Use of the subject property is determined to be
for commercial or light industrial use. The client and intended user of this
appraisal is the City of La Porte only. The intended use is to estimate the current
market value of the subject property of this analysis as described above. There has
been no other transfer of the subject property noted for the past 36 months per
client data. The effective date of the appraisal is July 15, 2014. The effective date of
the report is July 18, 2014. The estimated exposure time is up to 24 months.
After a review of the comparable sales it is my opinion the estimated unit value
range of between $2.00 to $4.50 PSF would be placed on the subject property
with a mid-range value of $2.75 PSF being indicated for the parent tract.
being indicated for the parent tract.
with a mid-range value of
Therefore the unit market value of the subject tract is estimated at $2.75 PSF
Therefore the unit market value of the subject tract is estimated at
$2.75 PSF
which is based on 100% fee simple ownership with no discounting
applied.
