Property Valuation

What is 'land residual technique' in real estate appraisal?

AA method subtracting improvement value from total value to estimate land value
BA capitalization method attributing residual income to land after the improvement's return is deducted; used to value land as if improved to highest and best use✓ Correct
CA technique using residual land inventory to forecast future values
DA method calculating the value of land after all required improvements are installed

Explanation

The land residual technique is used to estimate land value when no comparable vacant land sales are available. The appraiser assumes a hypothetical improvement at highest and best use, calculates the NOI from that improvement, deducts the return attributable to the improvement (replacement cost times a building capitalization rate), and capitalizes the residual income attributable to the land. This technique is mainly used in complex commercial valuation problems.
