Calculations which must be em- ployed in arriving at the value of prop- erties are based on elements simple jenough to name, although the process {of appraisals may be bewildering to the { layman, according to A. P. Allingham, { Buffalo realtor. Conducting a demonstration before jthe appraisal division of the National | Association of Real Estate Boards at |the Baltimore convention last week, Mr. Allingham declared that an appraisal value means one figure, no matter for what use appraisal is to be made. Cites Appraisal Methods. Discussing how appraisals should be made, he said that from a layman's point of view it may seem that a house and lot should be worth what it cost to create, less loss from depreclation. It may be worth just that, he said, pro- vided the neighborhood trends are in jthat direction, if production costs have aot risen or fallen, if the house is not an over-improvement of the land nor an = | under-improvement of it, if the demand for homes of that character is normal and if some other points are properly balanced. He empbasized that no matter where the house is or what kind of house it is. exactly the same elements in every case make real estate value. He listed the following as some of the major points of consideration: Transportation, location, city elopment, growth, architecture, supply and demand in housing, approach, restrictions, social atmosphere, size and shape of house. Must Not Forget Interiors. But_there remains plenty of scope for judgment in appraising the value of a house 20 or 30 years old, in establish- ing the effect upon its present value, caused by the competition from the brand-new houses on the market hav- ing up-to-date bath rooms, modernistic plumbing, mechanical refrigeration, “darling little kitchenettes” and all the |other current type of trimmings. Here the speaker warned the realtors not to place too much weight on the exterior of a house, its design and setting, and fail to give due weight to the inside of the house, the height of its ceilings, size }and shape of rooms and features affect- 1ing its livability. Pointing out that appraisal of prop- erty is a sclentific analysis, the speaker said an appraiser cannot simply con- | sider what the building is worth, what the land is worth and then arrive at the value by adding the two figures. | He explained that the building may be it may be below the standard for build- | ings in its vicinity PLANS “APPROVED” Architect's Advisory Council 0.

Lonberg- Holm, writing in the Architectural fwim” after a long study of the sub- ject. Selection of business locations, he said, should be based on study of data on the trade area, increase in popula- tion, estimated pay roll, types of in- dustry, number of existing retail out- lets, density and nature of traffic, shifting of retail trade area, parking facilities, relation of rent to estimated sales and other factors, Store buildings in a community shopping center, he finds, should be de- signed to serve the purpose of retail- ing only.
