Shared Driveway Easement Help

[Deleted member 157170]

It's also difficult to adjust for owned solar panels Would $1,000 to $2,000 adjustment be acceptable for minimum positive.
And does number of Solar Panels be adjusted also?

There is actually quite a bit of info on valuing solar panels out there. I would recommend McKissocks course on solar panel valuation, it’s surprisingly thorough for them. Lots of small calculations for the cost and income approach, but there are some cost calculators out there if you search google. As far as the best way to go about it, sales approach is the best. Paired sales In particular (although they can be almost impossible to find if you’re in an area where there just aren’t any). But there are rules depending on the ownership situation for solar panels that GSEs are enforcing. Also a lot of background on array size, kW output, depreciation, shared power agreements, etc. that needs to be known before even valuing them. So best to get educated on them before valuing them.

My AMC indicated if subject is atypical, appraiser should notify them to see how they want to proceed.
If you have difficulty finding a property with shared easement, you may want to contact them regarding this issue and maybe even ask for higher appraisal fee since you have difficulty finding such comps.

So there is a difference between being atypical and not having any recent sales of similar homes. When you’re driving around do you see shared driveways of homes that aren’t in the market or recently sold? If you do, it’s not an atypical feature. There just aren’t any/many recent sales.
