SALES COMPARISON APPROACH The estimated fair market value of the subject property is based on improved sales data for other properties with essentially the same utility and amenities. The subject property is located on a primary arterial street and the property benefits from good access and visibility. To analyze the value of the subject property, a search was conducted of the market area for similar improved office building sales. Very few transactions were found in Santa Ana. The search was expanded to surrounding areas and included small office buildings that sold throughout Orange County since January 2014, built before 1990 and between 1,000 and 10,000 square feet in size. Of the comparables discovered, the six most similar properties were chosen for comparison. The comparables reflect selling prices ranging from $370,000 to $600,000, which is approximately $293 to $417 per square foot of building area, or approximately $34 to $106 per square foot of land area. Office buildings of this size are primarily purchased for owner - occupancy whereby the fee simple interest is conveyed. The primary approach used in this market by owner -users is the sales comparison approach. As such, the sales comparison approach is developed to provide an indication of the fee simple market value. The comparable sales are analyzed using the price per square method, which is the typical basis used by buyers in this market. This unit of measure provides a reliable basis of comparison for the assignment. As a check to the reasonableness of the conclusion price per square foot of land area is also reviewed. Adjustments are considered for transactional differences as well as for physical differences between the subject property and comparables.
