The appraisal focuses on present condition, available access, buyer demand, and relevant distressed or dated market evidence.
Hayward market considerations
Hayward is not one uniform market. A hillside home, Bay-side tract property, downtown condominium, Fairview county property, or small multifamily building may require entirely different comparable searches.
Relevant analysis may include hillside versus flatland location, city versus county jurisdiction, BART and freeway influence, industrial adjacency, school appeal, views, topography, condition, property type, and neighborhood identity.
Collateral considerations
- Safety and access limitations
- Observed damage
- Current habitability
