Term
Major differences between STANDARD 7 and STANDARD 1
Definition
1. Standards Rule 7-3(a) focuses on opinions of value in an appropriate
market rather than the use of the definition of highest and best use common in real property appraisals. Neither the components of the definition (legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible, or maximally profitable) are used. Instead, in Standards Rule 7-3, the emphasis is on the current and alternative uses, appropriate
market or market level, and relevant economic conditions that exist on the effective date of valuation. The term market value is not as commonly used in personal property as it is in real property.
2. Personal property appraisals frequently involve multiple objects in a single appraisal assignment, and the value significance of these objects can vary greatly. Standards Rule 7-4(e) specifies that objects which are more significant to the assignment results should be the focus of the analysis.
3. Standards Rule 7-5 requires the analysis of prior sales that occurred within a reasonable and applicable time period, if relevant given the intended use of the appraisal and property type. This is different from Standards Rule 1-5 that requires a minimum history of three years prior to the effective date of the appraisal.

Term
Major Differences between STANDARD 9 and STANDARD 1

Term
Major Differences between STANDARD 9 and STANDARD 1
Definition
2. Standards Rule 9-2 is the list of information needed to identify
the characteristics of the subject property such as ownership
percentage interest, accompanying elements of control and market. Whether or not the subject interest is a controlling or non-controlling interest of the business enterprise and its degree of marketability are major influences on value.
