The legal description of the property is FIR 1RC L1 BLK2 RIDGE CREST PUD FG1. The subject is a Frame Siding house constructed in 2000. It has 1844 square feet of finished living area above grade. There are 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The basement is 960 square feet unfinished. The garage is 480 square feet. The Assessor has classified the structure as a 2 Story home of Average quality construction. A physical inspection was done on the property on July 24th 2015. Market Approach Summary The subject property has been classified as Residential for assessment purposes. Residential property value shall be determined solely by consideration of the Market Approach to Value {39-1- 103 (5) (a), CRS}. As required by 39-1-104(10.2), CRS, the market value is determined by utilizing data from the period of one and one-half years immediately prior to June 30th, 2014. If sufficient comparable valuation data is not available within the eighteen-month time period, the assessor shall use market data from the five year period immediately prior to June 30th, 2014. When appropriate, all sales are to be time adjusted to the appraisal date of June 30th, 2014. Although the appraisal date is June 30, 2014, the physical characteristics are reflective of the property as of January 1, 2015. The comparable sales in this report were selected using county records and the Multiple Listing Services. The Weld County Assessor's Office has verified that the comparable sales are arms-length transactions based on review of the Real Property Transfer Declaration, telephone or personal confirmation interviews and physical inspections to confirm property characteristics at the time of sale. DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE: The most probable price, as of a specified date, in cash, or in terms equivalent to cash, or in other precisely revealed terms, for which the specified property rights should sell after reasonable exposure in a competitive market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and for self interest, and assuming that neither is under undue duress. {The Appraisal Institute} The market value of the property as of June 30th, 2014is: Assessor's Indicated Value RESIDENTIAL $225,823 TOTAL: $225,823 Comparable 1 •; 4 • 1 - k,.. _.,..,. . ,.. __. . ,. : gr.,: 4 y 4 .. ,, ;� V --- �asa_} - - Z Comparable 2 „ -.* il r I 3. t-� a ' r' r tea:' - - --2 --- L .

An adjustment for time is made if during the sales collection period of January 2013 to June 30, 2014 the sale prices of properties have appreciated or depreciated due to inflation or deflation . We refer to the adjustment as a 'time' adjustment, although it is market conditions that are changing over time that creates the need for the adjustment. If market conditions have not changed, no adjustment is required even though considerable time may have elapsed . {C. R.S. 39-1-104 ...said level of value shall be adjusted to the final day of the data-gathering period. } Sales and resales of the same or similar properties are a good indication of the changes in market conditions over time. In addition, we run simple linear regression where we graph the sales and the month the sale occurred to indicate the trend of the market. This trend is tracked as a monthly rate of change. Since we consider one of the most important aspects of market value to be location, we determine our time trends by location, also known as economic area or neighborhood, and by the use of the property (vacant land, residential, commercial ) . This neighborhood had 350 sales and indicates a time adjustment of .86,E per month . O O 1 ,ii- e O O o 0 8 g o ti p O d 0 8 8 ® • .! . _____.
