RE: MTT Docket #: 14-001385-TT
Dear Michigan Tax Tribunal:
Attached is the appraisal of 128 W 32nd Street, located within the City of Holland. The subject property
is a single family rental property.
The City of Holland Assessor’s Office attempted to schedule an on-site interior and exterior review of
the subject property by letter on Monday, June 30, 2014 and by phone on Monday, July 7, 2014. The
homeowner denied this review from taking place. As of the date of valuation, December 31, 2013, no
permits have been taken out and thus no remodeling is believed to have been done. The Assessor’s
Office did not receive a Real property Statement from the Financial Institution, this is an additional
reason the sale was not included in the valuation process.
The Subject property is located in ECF neighborhood J07. The comparables chosen were done so with a
focus on similarities first, and location second.
This report is presented as a proof of valuation for tax tribunal proceedings. The purpose of the report
is to estimate the market value of fee simple title to the subject property as of:
December 31, 2013
Market value is defined by the International Association of Assessing Officers as “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 knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not
affected by undue stimulus” (Property Assessment Valuation, Third Edition, pg. 15).
On the basis of my analysis, I estimate the market value of the subject property, 128 W 32nd Street,
Holland, MI 49423, as of the appraisal date of December 31st, 2013, to be:
One Hundred Twenty Six Thousand Dollars
($126,000)
Sincerely,
Devin Goulooze, MCAT Appraiser │ Assessor’s Office | City of Holland

Definition and Explanation of Market Value
Market Value Defined
Market value is defined by the International Association of Assessing Officers as “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 knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not
affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specific date
and passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated; 2. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what he considers his own best
interest. 3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market. 4. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or terms of financial arrangements
comparable thereto; and 5. 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.”
(Property Assessment Valuation, Third Edition, pg 15)
Foreclosure Sales Considerations
Special care should be taken in light of sales where a financial institution has taken a property back
through foreclosure proceedings, facilitated the “short sale” of a property to satisfy a failing mortgage
arrangement, or is selling a property to an end-user after already having taken the property back
through the foreclosure process. These circumstances illustrate abnormal conditions whereby the sale
price of the property may be, and often is, affected by financing considerations that yield a sale price
that is usually substantially less than what the arms-length market normally pays for a similar property.
The standard practice of reviewing foreclosure sales is that the circumstances of the sale must be
reviewed and validated through. This process is pursued through requests for submission of a “Real
Property Statement – Financial Institution – Previously Foreclosed Property” (Michigan Department of
Treasury Form 4546) and site visits to properties to review and consider the physical conditions of the
property at the time of the sale. Both of these issues present obstacles to determining the usability of
foreclosure sales. Real Property Statements are difficult to attain due to lack of cooperation of buyers
and a misunderstanding of the requirements of the form. The City of Holland sent 70 Financial
Institution RPS’s out in 2009 and received only one back. The one that was returned had a note that no
information would be shared. This illustrates the difficulties in determining the specifics surrounding a
particular distressed sale and whether or not the sale price is indicative of the property’s market value.
Appraisal of 128 W 32nd Street MTT Docket # 14-001385-TT

Site visits on foreclosure or bank-owned properties are sometimes hard to arrange due to vacancy, out
of town banks, or transition periods in ownership. Regardless, the major issue brought to light by this
part of the process is that typical foreclosure sale properties are in poor condition and in need of repairs
and maintenance. In the circumstances of rental properties, they are usually remodeled and repaired in
preparation for listing and rent. This remodeling usually immediately returns value to the property for
items of obsolescence and curable deferred maintenance that have been updated and corrected.
Therefore, there is usually money spent on the property after the purchase that substantially affects the
value of the property as of the forthcoming Tax Day, December 31st. This rehabilitative work will
enhance the value of the property and make the sale price less relevant to the market value of the
property.
Included in the addenda of this appraisal is a blank Real Property Statement – Financial Institution –
Previously Foreclosed Property form that shows the requirements and questionnaire that illustrate the
possible deficiencies in assuming that the sale price of a foreclosure property is indicative of the
property’s true cash or market value.
Site Description
The subject property is a typical residential lot located near the southern edge of platted subdivision
areas in the city. The lot is a wide city lot that has a flat topography and serves a highest and best use as
the location of a residential home in a residential neighborhood. The lot is rectangular with 120 feet of
frontage and 130 feet of depth. The residential lots in this area, as well as the majority of the city, are
valued on a “front foot basis.” This property has a lot value of $13,296, derived from a front foot rate of
$115/FF, which is the standard rate used in this neighborhood. Most or all of the comparable sales in
the market approach are slightly smaller lots and lave been adjusted to compare to the subject
property.
Improvement Description
The subject property is a 1 story masonry ranch single family home with a half basement and half crawl
foundation and half the basement area having recreational finish. It is similar in design, style, and layout
to many of the homes in the neighborhood that were built in the same era of the mid-twentieth
century. The property record card indicates that the home was originally built in 1952. The home is
1,364 square feet above grade and features two bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms. The house
has a forced air furnace with ducts system which is connected to air conditioning. The home has a 28
square feet front wood covered porch and a 200 square feet rear wood glass enclosed porch. The
quality of construction classification on the home is C+10, which is ten percent above average. This is
typical for a home of this age and style in the edge of platted subdivision areas of the city.

Improvement Condition
The subject property home was built in 1952 and has no recorded remodeling work, regular
maintenance is assumed. The depreciation for the condition of the home is currently set at 73% good,
i.e. 27% depreciated.
Neighborhood Analysis
The subject property’s neighborhood is a well-established, residential neighborhood located on 32nd
Street a major thoroughfare near the southern edge of subdivisions in the city. The property values in
the neighborhood steadily decreased from 2008 through 2011 but were level for 2012 and have been
increasing in 2013 and 2014. This is generally typical for the housing market in western Michigan and
beyond.
Utilities in the subject property neighborhood are typical for residential properties and include: city
water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, municipal electric, natural gas, telephone, and cable (including
internet). Max transit authority offers a fixed route bus service in the surrounding areas. There are
several churches in the area as well as shopping and commercial districts. This home is in the Holland
Public School District with an elementary school and high school all within roughly one mile.
All subject and comparable properties listed within this report are in the same general vicinity of the
core neighborhoods of the City of Holland. Each of these neighborhoods has similar utilitarian value and
desirability.

THREE APPROACHES TO VALUE
COST APPROACH
MARKET (SALES) APPROACH
INCOME APPROACH
Appraisal of 128 W 32nd Street MTT Docket # 14-001385-TT

Cost Approach
Cost Approach Introduction
The cost approach for the subject property was developed using BS&A Software’s Assessing program.
We use this software to appraise all properties city-wide. All residential properties are appraised using
the cost approach so that we can maintain consistency based on various units of comparison. Some of
those units of comparison include, but are not limited to, land size (front footage and depth), square
footage of the home, size of the garage, basement finished area, number of bathrooms, porches, decks,
accessory buildings, condition/depreciation, etc. This valuation method is updated annually by local
(County) multipliers for material costs as well as neighborhood market changes through using an
Economic Condition Factor (ECF) in each neighborhood. The ECF is developed by comparing the sales
price of properties that have sold with the appraisal system’s valuation and taking of average of those
ratios to determine the change in the market for the year. This change is applied to all properties in the
neighborhood. Through this method, the appraisal software is a market adjusted cost approach.
The cost approach is illustrated in the property record card and sketch of the subject property home as
shown on the following pages.

Cost Approach Analysis
Based on the condition of the home, the depreciation of the house as of 12/31/2013 was 73% good.
This valuation yields a total value of $125,831 (land of $13,296 and building of $112,535).
The subject property is located in the J07 ECF neighborhood; this ECF neighborhood had an ECF of .943
which is higher than the surrounding areas. This was due to a lack of sales, eight (8), in the
neighborhood. The ECF should have been blended with the surrounding ECF’s.
Based on the cost approach as illustrated on the property record card details, the City Assessor’s Office
has determined the market value of 128 W 32nd St, Holland, MI 49423, rounded to the nearest $100, as
of 07/08/2014 to be:
$125,800
Appraisal of 128 W 32nd Street MTT Docket # 14-001385-TT

Sales Approach
Sales Approach Introduction
For determination of the subject property’s market value by means of the market (sales) approach to
value, the appraiser looked for all sales of residential properties with the following criteria:
*Sold at arms-length with no financial hardship involved (short sales and foreclosures removed).
* Sold within the 1-year sale window used for 2014 County Equalization plus any sales through June of
2014 (6 months past the date of valuation), with time adjustments made as needed. Sales between
10/1/2012 and 6/1/2014.
*Sale properties located within general area of West 32nd St, where like amenities, public utilities, and
comparable market demand and desirability exists.
*Comparables were between 1,200 square feet and 1,600 square feet, and masonry or frame built.
*Style was 1.0 Story over basement.
Based on the above criteria, the sales analysis grid on the following pages was established by the
appraiser using what he felt were the most comparable sales available.
Adjustments were made to the comparable to reflect the characteristics of the subject. In other words a
comparable with a larger lot was adjusted downward with a minus adjustment to better reflect the
smaller lot of the subject.
All comparables were reviewed. Adjustments for date of sale, location, sales or financing concessions,
building condition, layout, and age, were considered, but none were made.
Adjustments were considered and made for each of the following characteristics.
Square foot adjustments were made based on the premise that the marginal square foot cost is
approximately fifty percent or less of the total square foot cost of the building without land. In this case
we are reviewing homes that average 118,100 dollars, less an estimated 16,000 per lot for land value.
$57,600 building value divided by an average square foot of 1,400 equals $41.14 per square foot for the
improvements. To use a marginal square foot of $35.00 for each variance in square foot is appropriate
because at this point the mechanical and plumbing and kitchen cabinets are not being addressed.
Next, building quality was also considered. This appraiser is familiar with the neighborhoods,
construction and quality of the various comparables and again allowed an adjustment of $4,000.00 for
each increment in quality grading as found in the comparable sales.
Appraisal of 128 W 32nd Street MTT Docket # 14-001385-TT

The subject does have air conditioning and comparable #5 does not have air conditioning. Comparable
#5 was adjusted up to reflect the value as if it did not have air conditioning with a plus $1,500.00.
The value of a garage stall is estimated at approximately $2,000.00 per stall.
This appraiser has estimated the adjustment for each additional bedroom to be an extra $2,000.00
dollars. One would have to do a very complex study to prove this estimate right or wrong, and therefore
this appraiser is relying on common sense and thirty-five years of experience to estimate this
adjustment.
All comparables as well as the subject have at least one bathroom. The value difference between a one
or two bathroom home in this price ranges is believed to be $2,500.00 per bathroom.
Most of the homes of this vintage have the ceiling height to allow for viable living space in the basement
if it is finished. The value adjust per square foot of basement is believed to be $11.00.
Porches were considered in summation and if significantly less or more in square foot than the subject,
the comparables were adjusted up or down $500.00 as the case may dictate.

Sales Approach Analysis
For the market (sales) approach analysis grid that was provided in this review, the average sales
price of the six comparable properties is $118,100. The average adjusted sales price of the six
comparable properties is $136,700.
Based on the sales approach analysis, the appraiser has determined that the most comparable
properties are comparables #2, #3, #4, and #6. The average adjusted sales price of the three
comparables given the most consideration is $124,900. Comparable #2 was given the most
consideration due to its numerous attributes that were similar to the subject property, having
the fewest adjustments, the third lowest net adjustment dollar amount, and the lowest
absolute adjustment amount. The adjusted sales price of Comparable #2 is $119,800.
A value was determined by using a weighted average of all six (6) of the comparable sales.
Comparable two was given the most weight at 30% followed by comparable three, four, and six
at 20% each. The appraiser has determined the market value of the subject property based on
the sales approach, located at 128 W 32nd St, Holland, MI, 49423, as of December 31st, 2013, to
be:
$126,000
Appraisal of 128 W 32nd Street MTT Docket # 14-001385-TT
16
Final Conclusion of Value
Based on reviewing the subject property via two approaches to value, the appraiser has
determined the following market values as of December 31st, 2013:
Cost Approach: $125,800
Sales Approach: $126,000
The subject property is currently an income producing property that was purchased by
an investor and remodeled for the purpose of financial gain. However, the indication of value
as determined by review of the market (sales) approach indicates that the highest and best use
of this single-family home would be for an end user. The cost approach is deemed the least
reliable indicator of value due to the age and condition of the property. For this reason, the
sales approach has been used as the final determination of the value of the property.
By this approach, the 2014 assessed value of $62,900 and the 2104 true cash value of $125,800
are an accurate representation of value.
The market value of the subject property as of December 31st, 2013 is:
One Hundred Twenty Six Thousand Dollars
($126,000)

Certification
DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE: The most probable price which a property should bring in a
competitive and open market under all conditions requisite a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting
prudently, knowledgeable and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this
definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to
buyer under conditions whereby: (1) buyer and seller are typically motivated; (2) both parties are well
informed or advised and each acting in what he considers his own best interest; (3) a reasonable time is
allowed for exposure in the open market; (4) payment is made in terms of financial arrangements
comparable thereto; and (5) 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.
Adjustments to the comparables must be made for special or creative financing or sales concessions. No
adjustments are necessary for those costs which are normally paid by the sellers as a result of tradition
of law in a market area; these costs are readily identifiable since the seller pays these costs in virtually all
sales transactions. Special or creative financing adjustments can be made to the comparable property
by comparisons to financing terms offered by a third party institutional lender that is not already
involved in the property transaction. Any adjustment should not be calculated on a mechanical dollar
for dollar cost of the financing or concession but the dollar amount of any adjustment should
approximate the market’s reaction to the financing or concessions based on the appraiser’s judgment.

the existence of hazardous materials and environmental conditions on or around the property that
would negatively affect its value.
