(Improvements Only)
Dear Kathleen Paras:
In accordance with your authorization, I have prepared an estimate of the Actual Cash
Value (ACV) of the residences located at 44 Park Ave, West Yarmouth, MA. Actual Cash Value
is defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as “The cost to replace a
building on the same parcel with a new building of like-kind and quality, minus depreciation
due to age, use, and neglect.” FEMA, Substantial Improvement/Substantial Damage Desk Reference,
4.5.3.
Site improvements and land value are not included in the analysis. The market value of the
real estate has not been appraised under the definition of “market value” commonly used in the
practice of real estate appraisal: "The most probable price, as of a specified date, in cash, or in
terms equivalent to cash, or in other precisely revealed terms, for which the specified property
rights should sell after reasonable exposure in a competitive market under all conditions requisite
to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and for self-interest,
and assuming that neither is under undue duress." The Appraisal of Real Estate, 14th Edition,
Appraisal Institute, 2013, page 58. This definition includes the land, building, and all site
improvements, as well as outbuildings and other man-made structures.
PO Box 2514, Orleans, MA 02653
Office 508-255-4241 ~ Cell 508-737-7684
The intended use of this report is to assist you, my client, with building code compliance
by providing an opinion of the depreciated value of the improvements as of the date of value,
and prior to any work completed on the date of inspection, as required by National Flood
Insurance regulations (“50% Rule”). Intended users of the report are you, the client, and the
Yarmouth Building Commissioner, for the stated purpose. The appraiser is not responsible to any
other user for any other purpose.
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations do not define “market value”
but do note two specific requirements:
• “Market value must always be based on the condition of the structure before the
improvement (sic) is undertaken or before the damage (if any) occurred.
• “Only the market value of the structure is pertinent. The value of the land and site
improvements (landscaping, driveway, detached accessory structures, etc) and the value
of the use and occupancy (business income) are not included. Any value associated with
the location of the property should be attributed to the land, not the building.”
The date of value is December 6, 2022, which was the date the property was inspected by
appraiser Julia A Lee. As of the date of inspection. The cost analysis to follow is based on the
quality and condition of the building on December 6, 2022.
The written cost analysis, attached, has been prepared in compliance with the
requirements of Standards Rules 1 and 2 of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal
Practice (USPAP) for real property appraisal assignments, as promulgated by the Appraisal
Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation, 2020-2023 Edition, and applicable guidelines and
regulations. The cost analysis reflects the building component (only) of market value as required
by NPIF regulations.
This report includes a summary cost analysis of the building improvements but not the
underlying land value, furnishings, personal property, or the value of site improvements such as
landscaping, parking areas, walkways, septic system, and utility hook-ups.
The improvements consist of a wood frame, 1,728 square feet (SF), detached antique
colonial-style dwelling with a gable roof originally constructed in 1900. The dwelling has two
finished floors above grade. In total, there are four bedrooms, one multi-purpose room, two full
bathrooms, a family room/office, a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen. Finish details
include exposed beams, built-ins, beadboard walls & ceilings, glass-enclosed shower, crown
molding, custom tile, soft-close cabinets, stainless-steel appliances, quartz counters, and flooring
in the basement.
Items not included in base costs include adjustments made for: an attached wood deck, a
large covered open porch, one stone fireplace with two-story chimney, and an attached outdoor
shower. An adjustment was also made for the recent increase in lumber costs due to lumber
shortages, supply chain disruptions, and increased demand as reported by area builders.
Recent updates within the last 5 years which have lowered the effective age of the dwelling
include: new full baths, a new kitchen, a new heating system, a new air conditioning system, and
repairs made to insulation. Earlier repairs include replacement of the roof on the covered open
porch, and the replacement of 6 windows. Paint throughout the dwelling appeared fresh, and
wood floors were in good condition.
The cost analysis is based on the quality and depreciated condition of the improvements
as of the date of value. My knowledge of the interior finish materials and condition of the subject
is based on the property inspection, and Town Assessor records. Overall, the improvements were
judged to be good quality construction in good condition overall, with no areas of observed
deferred maintenance.
The scope of work included a physical inspection of the interior and exterior of the home,
examination of assessor record information, and development of an appropriate cost analysis.
Cost data are based on the Marshall Valuation Service manual and local builder estimates.
The sales comparison and income approaches are not applicable to the assignment, were
not developed, and do not apply to the appraisal problem.
On the basis of the attached cost analysis, the “as is” depreciated cost of the subject
improvements (Actual Cash Value), as of the date of value, December 6, 2022, is:
SEVEN HUNDRED EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
($780,000) rounded
Thank you for allowing me to be of service in this matter. Please feel free to contact me should
you require any additional assistance.

COST ANALYSIS
Cost data are based on the Marshall Valuation Service Manual, supported by local builders’
and contractors’ costs. Marshall & Swift base costs used are “Single-family residences (351),”
Section 12, Page 25, Class D, of the Marshall Valuation Service Manual. Ratings and definitions are
in the Marshall & Swift Valuation Service Manual. Appropriate multipliers have been applied to the
base cost for the number of stories and the shape of the footprint. Current cost, local cost, and
resort cost multipliers have been applied to adjust for the higher cost of construction in the
regional (eastern) and local (Cape Cod) markets. This is standard methodology when using the
Marshall Valuation Service Manual.
