LAND VALUE A land value estimate is concluded by comparing the subject site to comparable land sales. Generally, the comparable land sales are adjusted by time, property, and location to indicate the Market Value of the subject site as though unimproved. This process is known as the Direct Sales Comparison Method. The Direct Sales Comparison Method is a process of analyzing sales of similar recently sold land parcels in order to derive an indication of the most probable sales price of the site being appraised. The reliability of this approach is dependent upon the availability of comparable sales data, the verification of the sales data, the degree of comparability and the absence of non-typical conditions affecting the sale. The following page contains sales of similar land sites which have recently sold. Several other sales were considered, but were not included because there was too wide a difference in physical factors, location and time. In comparing the sales to the subject, consideration is given to factors of time, location, property characteristics, and terms and conditions of the sale. The sales are analyzed on a price paid per square foot ofland area and a price paid per square foot of build able area. The appraiser considered other units of comparison to include price paid per front foot and price per dwelling unit. Since the number of units per acre and the site depths vary, these units of comparison do not form a consistent pattern. Since most of the sales are located in Sunny Isles Beach or Bal Harbour with ocean frontage and have the same or similar zoning classifications, the price per square foot should be a relatively consistent unit of comparison. The land sales are located within a three mile distance from the subject property and similarly have ocean frontage. Six of the seven sales are located within a mile distance of the subject site. The subject site and six of the seven sale properties are zoned MU-R, Mixed-Use Resort District Sale 1 is located on the southeast corner of Collins Avenue and l70'h Street, one-quarter mile south of the subject property.
