An appraiser is valuing a historic property in St. Augustine that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The property has deed restrictions limiting modifications and requires special permits for any changes. The owner has received offers from developers who want to demolish the structure, but local preservation ordinances may prevent this. What valuation approach is most problematic in this situation?

Correct Answer

Highest and best use analysis considering development potential is most problematic because preservation restrictions severely limit or eliminate development options.

Option C is viable if the property can generate income within its restrictions.

Answer Options
A
Sales comparison approach using other historic properties
