Mixed-Use appraisals in Connecticut

Appraisals of main-street and downtown buildings with storefronts or offices below and apartments above, one of Connecticut's most common commercial property types.

What drives mixed-use value

Two income streams

Residential and commercial space are analyzed separately, with their own rents, vacancy and risk.

Storefront demand

Ground-floor retail rents and vacancy vary block by block, so we use local evidence.

Building condition

Older mixed-use buildings often carry code, egress and system issues that affect value.

Sale comparables

Mixed-use buildings sell less often than single-use property, so comparable selection takes care.

Mixed-Use appraisals: common questions


How do you value a building with a store and apartments?

We estimate market rent for each component, build a combined income and expense analysis, and test the result against sales of similar buildings.

What if the storefront is vacant?

We estimate market rent and the time and cost to lease it, and reflect that in the value.

Who does the appraisal?

A partner of Baldi Valuation inspects every property and signs every report. The firm is led by Michael Baldi, MAI, AI-GRS.
