EXHIBIT 3 \�\, Valbridge Public Pay Parking k ` / V LAND VALUATION ��_/ PROPERTY ADVISORS Land Sales Comparison Analysis All of the sales were analyzed, and adjustments were made for differences in the various elements of comparison, including: real property rights, financing terms, conditions of sale, expenditures made immediately after purchase, market conditions, location, size, and other relevant factors. If the comparable sale was considered superior to the subject for any element of comparison, we applied a negative adjustment to the comparable. Conversely, a positive adjustment to the comparable was applied if it was considered inferior to the subject for any element. A summary of the elements of comparison follows. Transaction Adjustments Transaction adjustments include 1) real property rights conveyed, 2) financing terms, 3) conditions of sale and 4) expenditures made immediately after purchase. These items are applied prior to the market conditions and property adjustments, and are discussed as follows: Real Property Rights Conveyed Real property rights conveyed in land sales, such as easements, right of way, private or public restrictions, the right to develop, and any other land use right the property may transfer upon sale (e.g. the right to farm, mine, or subdivide) influence sale prices and may differ among land sale comparables. Financing Terms The transaction price for one property may differ from that of an identical property due to different financial arrangements. Sales with financing terms not at or near market terms require adjustments for cash equivalency to reflect typical market terms. A cash equivalency procedure discounts atypical mortgage terms to provide an indication of value at cash equivalent terms. Conditions of Sale When the conditions of a sale are atypical, the resulting price may be higher or lower than a normal transaction. Adjustments for conditions of sale usually reflect the motivations of either a buyer or a seller who is under duress to complete the transaction. Another more typical condition of sale scenario involves a downward adjustment applied to a comparable property's for -sale listing price, which usually reflects the upper limit of value. A knowledgeable buyer considers expenditures that must be made upon purchase of a property, decreasing the amount he will agree to pay. Such expenditures may include: (1) costs to demolish and remove any portion of the improvements, (2) costs to petition for a zoning change, and/or (3) costs to remediate environmental contamination. The relevant figure is not the actual cost incurred, but the cost anticipated by both the buyer and seller. Unless the sale involved expenditures anticipated upon the purchase date, no adjustments to the comparable sales are required for this element of comparison. Market Conditions Adjustment Market conditions change over time as a result of inflation, deflation, fluctuation in supply and demand, and other factors. Changing market conditions creates the need for adjustments to sale comparables that represent transactions during periods of dissimilar market conditions. Market conditions reflect changes in supply and demand, economic factors such as a recession, the inflation or deflation of currencies, tax laws, investor perceptions, etc. © 2015 VALBRIDGE PROPERTY ADVISORS I Penner and Associates, Inc.
