In case the property whose value has to be estimated is located in an area that has a history of property purchases and sales, then it is not that much difficult to ascertain the value of the property. But, in case the property under consideration is a new construction project, then it is more difficult to estimate its value. Finding out the appraised value of the property that has not been constructed yet, is more challenging.
