APPRAISAL SUMMARY .............................................................................................................. 4
Lot Size: Gross Area: 678.8 square meters or 7,306 square feet
Net Area: 484.3 square meters or 5,212 square feet
Water Zone: 04
Remarks: At date of inspection the subject lot was found to be vacant, flat and covered
by a manageable level of natural vegetation. The access road to the lot is unfinished. This
does not appear to have a significant impact on the functionality of the lot as it is a short
distance away from a well paved road.
Based on the size and characteristics of Lot 1 along with the current use of the surrounding
properties it is estimated that the highest and best use of the lot once developed would be
a single family, two storey, stone house, with a modern design and finishes.

Comments: At date of inspection the subject property was found to be vacant with a
manageable level of grass coverage. Lot 1 is formerly a part of a larger parcel now
subdivided into three lots of which Lot 1 is the most westerly. Consequently the access road
runs along the length and width of the lot but remains undeveloped. Lot 1 abuts other lands
now or formerly of Inez Smith to the south, lands now or formerly of Livingstone Clarke to
the north, lands now or formerly of Cecil M. Barton to the east and a public road to the west.
The interest appraised is the fee simple estate. Fee simple estate is defined as “Absolute
ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the
limitations imposed by governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain,
police power, and escheat.”
This method emanates from the principle of substitution, which states that a prudent
person will pay no more for a property than it would cost to acquire an equally desirable
substitute. Recent sales evidence of similar properties in comparable locations was
examined and the subject property compared with the prices obtained. Consideration was
given to, and adjustments made for physiographic, topography, location, size, shape and
condition of the subject site.
Analysis of sales of similar lots in the area shows ranges from $15.00 to $15.63 per square
foot. These sales have occurred in close proximity to the subject lot and in recent times
therefore are very accurate reflections of the market conditions in existence presently.
Based on the characteristics of the subject lot it is our opinion that, Index no. 3 is located
within the same parish, closer proximity and in a similar district.
The remaining comparable data has been used as indicators only, and as such less weight
has been attributed on that evidence. Please note that the comparable data used all had
adequate vehicular access. The subject lot does not and as such some adjustment to the
unit rate is required.
In consideration of all mentioned above it is my opinion that this lot could fetch around
$12.00 per square foot if it were to be “offered”-as on this date on the open market for
sale under normal market conditions.
The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market
under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and
knowledgeable, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this
definition are the communication of a sale as of the specified date and the passing of title
from seller to buyer under conditions whereby.
Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
Both parties are well informed or well advised and acting in what they
considered their best interest
The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold
unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by
anyone associated with the sale.
