People are always asking me, "briefly, what Lakefront properties do you have available right now?" In a nut shell here is what is for sale right now in Okanogan County that is Lakefront:
I recently had a client interested in finding out how I valued property on Lake Osoyoos because all of the other agencies had priced the properties with no continuity. So I showed them the correct way to value properties on a specific body of water. This is how I do it, first I locate the three highest valued comparable sales. (Here are the highest sales as of 09/14/2008, these will be good for another 3 months)
Comparable #1 Sale Price: $999,900.00 Sales Date: 07/15/2008 Improvement Sq Ft: 1622 Acreage: 0.08 acres Address: Veranda Lot #82 New Owner: Kennedy Tax Parcel ID #9105008200 Amount of Lakefront: 75'
Comparable #2 Sale Price: $890,000.00 Sales Date: 06/06/2008 Improvement Sq Ft: No Improvements Acreage: 0.50 acres Address: 19 Champerty New Owner: Gallagher Tax Parcel ID #4780110000 Amount of Lakefront: 140'
Comparable #3 Sale Price: $750,000.00 Sales Date: 07/16/2008 Improvement Sq Ft: No Improvements Acreage: 0.16 acres Address: Veranda Lot #111 New Owner: Kosior Tax Parcel ID #9105011100 Amount of Lakefront: 72'
In this example here is a property we will value based on the above comparables: Subject Property Sale Price: To Be Determined Below Sales Date: Not sold yet Improvement Sq Ft: 3500 Acreage: 0.70 acres Address: TBD New Owner: "Alex" Tax Parcel ID #TBD Amount of Lakefront: 100'
New construction value on Lake Osoyoos is currently running $200.00 per square foot. I am assuming your property improvements have depreciated approximately 50%. The depreciated value of the home separately would be: $350,000. (3500 sq ft home) All other comparable properties have water and sewer so we won’t adjust for these improvements.
Comparable #1 Improvements: $324,400.00 No depreciation (brand new house) leaving Land value at $675,500.00
Comparable #2 Land Value: $890,000.00
Comparable #3 Land Value: $750,000.00
The first thing we do with valuing land is to give the non-lakefront portion of the land value. Based on comparable sales we would give the non-lakefront portion value at $125,000. per acre.
Comparable #1 Land Value Non-lakefront: $125,000.00 X .08 acres = $10,000.00 Then you would subtract $10,000. from $999,900.00 leaving $989,900.00 then subtract the improvement value (above) $324,400.00 equals $665,500. to calculate lakefront value. Then $665,500.00 divided by 75’ equates to $8873.33 per lineal foot.
Comparable #2 Land Value Non-lakefront: $125,000.00 X 0.50 = $62,500.00 Then you would subtract $62,500. from $890,000.00 leaving $827,500.00 to calculate lakefront value. Then $827,500.00 divided by 140’ equates to $5,910.71 per lineal foot.
Comparable #3 Land Value Non-lakefront: $125,000.00 X 0.16 = $20,000.00 Then you would subtract $20,000. from $750,000.00 leaving $730,000.00 to calculate lakefront value. Then $730,000.00 divided by 72’ equates to $10,138.88 per lineal foot.
Taking these three per-lineal-feet figures and adding them together then dividing them by three gives us an average per-lineal-foot figure.
The average per lineal foot price is $8307.64 based on these figures.
Now we reconstruct the subject property as follows: Non Lakefront land value: $125,000. X .70 acres equals: $87,500.00 We have already established the improvement values at: $350,000.00 The per lineal lakefront value is $8307.64 per foot X 100’ equals $830,764.00 Leaving the actual Value based on Comparable sales in the last 6 months at: $1,268,264.40
