Analysis of any current agreement of sale, option or listing of the subject property and analysis of any prior sales of subject and comparables within one year of the date of appraisal: PERSONAL PROPERTY IS GIVEN NO VALUE IN THIS REPORT. ALL SALES ARE CLOSED. NONE OF THE ABOVE SALES WERE SOLD PREVIOUS NOR SINCE THE ABOVE LISTED SALES. Reconciliation Indicated Value by Sales Comparison Approach $138,000 Indicated Value by Income Approach [Estimated market rent $_/mo x GRM] N/A Indicated Value by Cost Approach N/A The appraisal is made S AS IS □ subject to repairs, alterations or conditions □ subject to completion Conditions of appraisal: SEE ATTACHED ADDENDUM Final reconciliation: SEE ATTACHED ADDENDUM The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the market value of the real property that is the subject of this report, based on the above conditions and the certification, contingent and limiting conditions, and market value definition that are stated in the attached Freddie Mac Form 439/Fannie Mae Form 1004B. I/WE ESTIMATE THE MARKET VALUE, AS DEFINED, OF THE REAL PROPERTY THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS REPORT, AS OF 6/30/99 (WHICH IS THE DATE OF INSPECTION AND THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS REPORT) TO BE $138,000.00. Signature:_License Number/Certification ADDENDUM PAGE Legal description Refer to the lender's title policy. Unavailable to the appraiser. Neighborhood market factorsThe subject is located north of the Chicago Loop in an area commonly known as Old Irving Park. The immediate area consists of varying aged structures, predominantly New to 120 years old mid-rise condominiums/apartments, 2-4 family housing, manufacturing and commercial building exhibiting good curb appeal. Good access to various schools, shopping, parks and pubic transportation on arterial streets. Compatibility of Market to MeteringThe subject's common radiant heating system is typical for condominium buildings this age and market. Both situations are typical and readily accepted by the market. Condition of the unitThe subject is a single-level one-bedroom one-bath condominium located in Chicago's Near North side. The subject unit experiences typical depreciation due to normal wear and tear. There are no functional or external inadequacies noted. The subject unit faces south on LaSalle. The subject was constructed in 1989 in the form of an apartment building and converted into condominiums in 1992, completed in 1993. The subject property has the following additional features: Berber carpet throughout, sliding/thermo-pane windows, beveled edge mirrors, mirror closet doors, ceiling fans in living and dining room, the bathroom has ceramic tile flooring, ceramic wainscot and standard wainscot, the kitchen has white cabinets, rolled edge counter tops and mirror backsplash. Comments on Sales ComparisonThe comparables used in this report are the most recent closed sales of the most similar condominiums in the Near North side of Chicago. All comparables offer similar utility and marketability. No adjustments are required for lower and higher association fees, as the fees vary due to different gross living areas and amenities received. Comparable 3 has a corner location buy required no location adjustment due to the additional monthly association fee for the superior view. Comparables 2 and 3 are located on lower level floors and received no floor level adjustment due to the similar views of units above the 5th floor. Conditions of AppraisalThe appraisal is made from an interior and exterior inspection of the subject property and an analysis of the Near North Side real estate market. No liability is assumed for the structural or mechanical elements of the property. Personal property was given no value in this report. All sales are closed. Final ReconciliationThe market approach is considered the most reliable indicator of value. The cost approach is considered inapplicable due to the difficulty in estimating the value of the improvements in combination with land value based upon percentage of ownership. The income approach is not utilized in this report. However, significant rental data is available for a reliable GRM.
