HIGHEST AND BESTUSE:

The AppraisalofReal Estate- 12' Edition,at page305,indicates:

HighestandBestUsemay be definedasthe reasonably probableandlegaluse,of


vacant land or an improvedproperfythat is physicallypossible,appropriately
supported,andfinanciallyfeasibleandthatresultsin thehighestvalue.

Fundamentally, theconceptofhighestandbestuseappliesto landalonebecause the


valueof the improvements is considered
to bethevaluetheycontributeto the land.
Land is said Io have value,while improvementscontributeto the value of the
propertyasa whole.

The highestandbestusemustbe:

(1) physicallypossible
(2) legallypermitted
(3) financiallyfeasible
(4) maximallyproductive(resultsin thehighestvalue).

HighestandBestUseis a fundamentai conceptin real estateappraisalbecauseit focusesmarket

TheAppraisalofRealEstate- 11'Edition,at page50,indicates:

Because theuseofthe landcanbelimitedby thepresence of improvements,highest

HIGHEST AND BEST USE:

It is to berecognizedthatin caseswherea sitehasexistingimprovements on it, thehighestandbest


useofthe sitemayvery well be determined to bedifferentfrom theexistinguses.The existinguse
will continue,however,unlessanduntil landvaluein its highestandbestuseexceeds thetotalvalue
ofthe propertyin its existinguse.

TheAppraisalofRealEstate- l2u Edition,at page323,indicates:

The use to which a site or improvedpropertyis put until it is readyfor its future
highestandbestuseis calledan interimase.Thus,interimuseis a currenthighest
and bestusethat is likely to changein a telativelyshorttime - say,five to seven
years.

Also implied is that the determinationof the highestand best use resultsfrom the appraiser's
judgementandanalyicalskill, ie: thattheusedetermined ffom analysisrepresents
anopinion,not a
fact to be found.In appraisalpractice,the conceptof highestandbestuserepresents the premise
uponwhich valueis based.

Highest and Best Useofthe Site,asvacantandavailablefor development, in

accordwith zoning.

ln undertakingthis analysiswe discussedthepropertywiththemunicipalengineer possible

determinedthat this properfyis locatedin the NB - Neighborhood BusinessDistrict. The district
allowsretailbusinesses,restaurants,dwellingsunitsoverstoresandotherrelatedcommercialuses

As previouslysummarizedin the zoningsectionof our report,the ordinanceprovidesfor 50Vo

4. The use would be maximallyproductiveor resultsin the highestvalue. There is no

The New JerseyDeparhnentof Transportation(NJDOT) and NJ TRANSIT spearheada multi


agency Smart Growth partnershipknown as the Transit Village Initiative. The Transit Village
Initiativehelpsto redevelopandrevitalizecommunitiesaroundtransitfacilitiesto makethem an
appealingchoicefor peopleto live, work andplay,therebyreducingrelianceon the automobile.

TheTransitVillageInitiativeis anexcellentmodelfor SmartGrowthbecause growth


it encourages
in New Jerseywhere infrastructureandpublic transit alreadyexist.

Aside from SmartGrowth communityrevitalization,two othergoalsof theTransitVillage Initiative


areto reducetraffic congestionandimproveair quality by increasingtransit riders.

Studieshave shown that an increasein residentialhousingoptions within walking distanceof a


transitfacility,typicallya onequarterto onehalfmile radius,doesmoreto increase transitridership
thananyothertypeofdevelopment.Therefore, it is a goalofthe TransitVillageInitiativeto bring
morehousing,morebusinesses andmorepeopleinto communitieswith transitfacilities.

Transit Village Criteria Specialcriteria are usedto determineif a municipalityis ready to be


designateda Transit Village.The criteria are:
. A good Transit Village candidatemust make a commitmentto grow in jobs, housingand
population.
. A designated TransitVillagemusthavea transitfacility.Thiscanbea rail or lightrail station,ferry

TIIE APPRAISAI PROCESSAND METHODOLOGY:

Therearethreeclassicapproaches
to value,i.e.

THE COSTAPPROACH:An appraisal technique whereinthecomponents - landand


improvements- arevaluedseparately. The aggregatedsumof the componentvalues
providesanindicationof marketvalue.Basicto theCostApproachis theprincipleof
substitutionthat statesthat no prudentpersonwill pay more for a propertythan the
amountwhich hecanobtainby purchaseofa siteandconsfuctionofthe improvements
without unduedelay.Developer'soverheadandentrepreneurial profit arean integral
partofthe anticipated costnew

TI{E MARKET DATA SALES COMPARISON APPROACH: Traditionally, an


appraisalprocedurein whichthemarketvalueestimateis predicateduponpricespaid
in actualmarkettransactionsandcunentlistings,the formerfixing the lower limit of
valuein a staticor advancingmarket(pricewise),andfixing thehigherlimit ofvaluein
a decliningmarket;andthelatterfixing thehigherlimit in anymarket.It is a processof
analyzingsalesof similarrecentlysoldproperties(with similarH&BU andEstates) in
orderto deriveanindicationofvalue for thesubjectproperty. Like theCostApproach,
the Market Data Sales ComparisonApproach is based upon the principle of
substitution.

THE INCOME APPROACH:An appraisaltechniquewhereinthe anticipatednet


income is processedto indicatea capitalamountof the investnent.The processof
income capitalizationgenerallyreflectsthe principle of anticipation,definedas the
presentworth of anticipatedbenefits.Anticipationfollows apattemsimilarto investor
thinking and motivation. In real estate,an investoris essentiallytrading a sum of
presentdollarsfor the right to receivefuturedollars.

ln essence
all approaches
to value(particularlywhenthepurposeofthe appraisalis to determinemarket
value)aremarketdataapproaches sincethedatainputsarepresumablymarketderived.Theappraisers
maintaina permanentandconstzntlyupdatedmarketdatabank,whichprovidesanoverviewof thereal
