Raw Land, Woodland and Subdivision appraisals: common questions
How do you value raw land with no approvals?
We compare it with sales of similar raw land, and consider what a buyer would pay given the time, cost and risk of obtaining approvals and building it.
Do you appraise approved subdivisions?
Yes. We can value an approved subdivision as a whole, as finished lots, or both, including the time it would take to sell the lots.
Do you appraise land for conservation or open space purchases?
Yes, including conservation easements and land bought by towns and land trusts.
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.
