Our Real Estate Appraisal Reports
WestRock’s real estate appraisal reports are based on several factors. Any institutional property appraisal will be a result of these three approaches to provide the foundation for this quantitative data analysis:
- Market Approach: A method that values an asset based on comparable property sales. Also known as the sales comparison approach, it tracks recently completed sales of similar properties to determine a property’s current market appeal.
- Cost Approach: A method that values a property based on the replacement cost of constructing a similar property, minus depreciation, plus the site’s value.
- Discounted Cash Flow: A method that estimates the value of an investment based on potential cash flows. Initial and annual costs, estimated income, and any holding periods are all variables used in this method.
