REAL TORS HEAR
ED|FYING TALK
Address on AppraiSaIS of
City, Public ard Farm Prop
critics Proves Interesting.

Instead OF holding the weekly
luncheon and meeting Tuesday noon
at the Farmers Trust Inn, the South
Bend Real Estate board met Mon
day night at the Y. NJ. 9. A, where
they listened to an address on How
Shall the Appraiser OF Real Estate
Arrive at its True Value" by w. +.
Doud. chairman of the appraisal
committee OF the Fort Wayne Real
Estate exchange. Mr.. DOud's COM
rnittee appraised last year $75O,OO0
worth of Fort Wayne real estate,
which is an unusually high average.
The purposes of an appraisal board.
consisting OF the most competent
real estate dealers in any city, is TO
stabilize values OF properties of pub
lie utilities and of both private and
public properties. The question was
generally discussed by the members
and Rome c. Stephenson, Judge
Thomas ID. Mott and Atty. I. S. Ro-
mig OF South Bend. and Pres't Field
house OF the Indiana Real Estate
board, all of whom were guests Of
the local board
In part Mr.. Doud said: THE basic
value of real estate is its rental
value capitalized at the prevailing
rate OF interest. For example. the
rental value may be 1000 per year
net. in which case. should the owner
feel that a net income OF five per
cent is a sufficiently good invest
ment, or rather IL that is the pre-
vailing rate OF interest. the value of
the fee would be $4,000.
Before being qualified to act as
an appraiser of real estate. one
should have actual experience in
buying and selling property for such
a length Of time as TO have become
perfectly familiar with all kinds Of
property; must be able to criticize:
must have heard the criticisms of
others: must have opinions of real
estate that are OF value to others;
should talk with and discuss valua-
tions with confidence in himself.
Another vital point is to know
what the future OF the locality is
liza BILE to be; that is. if it is advanc-
ing in popularity and desirability or
IL it is declining from year to year
and will it soon be placed in the
extremely undesirable class.
He must be able to so clearly
analyze the value that should the
applicant put him TO the severest
test by asking a number of reasons
why. that he may satisfactorily ex-
plain with a line of reasoning that
will work out from every angle.
THE question Of valuing farm
property depends first upon the quail
ity of the soil as from the soil that
all income must be produced. This
considered with the prevailing price
Of commodities, usually establishes
the desirability OF any certain farm.
Proximity TO cities and interurban
or other transportation and shipping
facilities must also be taken into
consideration by the appraiser. The
average reaItor who does not give
more or less attention TO farm trans
actions is hardly qualified 10 act as
an expect along that line"
