RE: Project # UM 12-103.3
Dear Mr. Jesse,
In accordance with your request dated April 29, 2013, I have personally viewed and prepared an
appraisal valuation report of the real property identified as:
1519 Woodland Avenue
Kalispell, MT 59901
The valuation assignment is to provide an update to a previous assignment. I referenced USPAP
2012-2013 for clarification. The appropriate term for this assignment is an “Update,” which reflects a
current market analysis. “The term “Update” is often used by clients when they are seeking a current
appraisal of a property that was the subject of a previous assignment.” [USPAP 2012-2013, AO3, page A-
7]. The reporting requirements are met via the attached summary report and incorporate by reference the
original appraisal #12237 dated October 17, 2012, which my client has on file. The report presents a
summary of my analysis and states the integral facts, reasoning and conclusions regarding the appraisal
process to develop an opinion of market value as defined herein. I am responsible for all the conclusions
set forth in the report.
The function and intended use of the appraisal is to provide my client, Mr. Hugh Jesse, with a
current opinion of market value of the real estate for asset valuation. The valuation assignment,
development and report are in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice
[USPAP 2012-2013]. The effective date of appraisal is May 10, 2013, the date of viewing and
photographs. I have provided appraisal services regarding the subject real estate within the three year
period of the effective date of the appraisal.
The opinion of value is subject to the attached assumptions and limiting conditions contained in
the appraisal report. The as-is market value is based upon a marketing time of one year and an exposure
time of one year. Based upon the assumptions and limiting conditions presented in this report I have
formed an opinion of the as-is market value of the subject property in fee simple estate as of the effective
date of the appraisal remains at:
AS-IS FAIR MARKET VALUE: $90,000
It has been a pleasure to assist you. If I may be of further service to you in the future, please let
me know.
Best Regards,
William R. Frazier

SCOPE OF WORK
For each appraisal or consulting assignment, the appraiser must;
1) Identify the problem to be solved. The appraisal problem, as discussed with my client, is to
provide a current opinion of the market value of the real estate identified herein for asset
valuation as an update to a previous assignment.
2) Determine and perform the work necessary to develop a credible result. The scope of work is
to recognize the specific conditions set forth in the definition of market value. These
“conditions” require a specific knowledge of the subject property, knowledge of the real estate
market and marketing area, an understanding of market behavior, conditions of sales and the
subject’s history, contracts and other sales history that can be reconciled to the general market
conditions. The appraisal considers socio-economic conditions as they affect the property
appraised. This encompasses the national, regional, local and all other external factors that
affect the subject real property. A physical inspection of the property, neighborhood and local
area is made as a basis for the analysis and application of the three recognized approaches to
real property valuation; Sales Comparison Approach [SCA or Market], Cost and Income. In
arriving at a value estimate, the appraiser reviews all approaches to value and applies those
approaches that are applicable to the assignment. In this appraisal, sales comparison
methodology is the most applicable for providing a market value estimate for a single
family residential property. Income analysis is considered but not used in the valuation
process because the subject and comparable properties are typically owner occupied and rarely
purchased in the open market for income investment. Cost analysis is considered but not used
because the subject improvements are over 5-years of age, and depreciation in all forms can be
difficult to measure and present unreliable estimates than can impact the value conclusion.
3) Disclose the scope of work in the report. Preparation of this assignment included:
viewing the subject properties;
a viewing of comparable sales and the “neighborhood” defined as residential properties
with similar market characteristics and appeal to the subject property;
gathering, confirming and analyzing land sales, improved sales, MLS reports and
courthouse records, applicable to the subject property;
applying the sales comparison approach as the appropriate valuation methodology to arrive
at an indication of value for the subject real estate.

DEFINITION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE
According to Treasury Regulations section 20.2031-1(b), and as restated in Revenue Ruling 50-
60, fair market value is—“the amount at which the property would change hands between a willing buyer
and a willing seller when the former is not under compulsion to buy and the latter is not under any
compulsion to sell, both parties having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.”
"A term that is, in concept, similar to market value in general usage; used mainly in condemnation,
litigation, income tax and property tax situations. When an appraisal assignment involves developing an
opinion of fair market value, the appropriate, requisite, and precise definition of the term depends on the
use of the appraisal and the applicable jurisdiction.”
MARKETING & EXPOSURE TIME
Sales comparison analysis data is utilized to estimate marketing and exposure time. Marketing
time is assumed to be the expected listing period prior to the closing of a sale and is viewed from an
historical perspective. The “exposure” period is related to the appraisal value conclusion and reflects the
estimated period of time on the market to produce the sale at that price. The value conclusion assumes a
“reasonable” marketing period for the subject property, which is estimated at one year. The appraisal
analysis and value indication assume a similar exposure period. While sales data shows marketing
periods can extend beyond a “reasonable” time frame, value conclusions are reconciled to a one year
period.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY
***My May 10, 2013 viewing was from the exterior only. The property appears to be in
similar condition to my previous viewing.
The subject site is non-typical as it includes a small level building site fronting Woodland Avenue,
approximately 104’ x 82’ to the top of a steep bank. The remainder of the site falls to a wooded creek or
drainage bottom. There is a well on this portion of the site. As the site progresses to the east, above the
slough bottom, it rises to an area that includes a 20’ pedestrian/bike path easement. The site is irregular in
shape and terrain. The site is adjacent to but not within the Kalispell City Limits. It appears the only
reasonable building site is the level portion along the road due to flood zone and easement.
According to the Department of Revenue [DOR], the subject residence was originally constructed
in 1930. The residence appears to be wood frame, on a concrete perimeter foundation. I did not view the
crawl space. The residence is one-level and appears to have additions to the original structure. The
building exterior has a metal roof surface over wood frame and roof structure. The siding surface is vinyl
lap siding. Windows are a mixture of aluminum and vinyl clad. The building has an “air-lock” front
entry with an additional entry to the north “bedroom.” There is a small, 5’ x 18’ exterior wood deck at the
rear in addition to a block patio riding along the edge of the drop off. Heating is by a gas forced air
furnace with no air conditioning. Domestic water appears to be via a shared, private well and domestic
sewage is via a private septic system. City services [water/sewer] are located along the roadway but
would require annexation into the Kalispell City. A gravel driveway provides entry to the detached
garage along the road. There is fencing around the front yard. There is a small, 12 x 16 “shop” area
attached at the west elevation with an exterior entry and an entry from the south bedroom.
The interior is noted by obsolescence in ceiling height, which is 81” [6’9”] with some vaulted
areas providing less clearance. Room layout and overall design also have features of obsolescence. The
floor plan consists of two bedrooms, living room, kitchen and dining area and one full bath. There is
carpet, vinyl and laminate flooring, drywall and wood paneling. There is a storage area east of the north
bedroom. Overall quality rating of the improvements is average for its age.

MARKET DATA SUMMARY
A summary of Kalispell Area market data follows.
2005 total sales @ $211,722,666
2006 total sales @ $217,239,175
2007 total sales @ $170,743,178
2008 total sales @ $125,317,855
2009 total sales @ $102,899,656
2010 total sales @ $112,794,753
2011 total sales @ $96,014,616
2012 total sales @ $129,344,974
Kalispell area residential sales volume increased in 2012 over 2011 by approximately 35%. The
number of transactions increased by 26% [YOY]. MLS reports 186 REO [Bank Owned] sales reflecting
29% of the Kalispell residential market, similar to the last few years. MLS reports 27 active listings out
of 546 active listings or approximately 5%, suggesting this segment of the local market is rapidly
declining.
The next data set illustrates residential sales and listing by price, again, illustrating that the
segment of the local market with the greatest number of sales is quickly running out of inventory.
~ Frazier Appraisal Services, Inc. ~ 11
In calendar year 2012 there were 411 reported sales in the Kalispell marketing area less than
$200,000 which is considered by many to be “affordable” housing. There are currently 205 active listings
in this price range or less than one-half the inventory available for sale.
The next data set subdivides the local Kalispell real estate market by market category to compare
trends year-over-year [YOY].
2011 2012
Residential: 510 Units @ $96,014,616 Residential: 643 Units @ $129,344,974
Land: 42 units @ $7,075,500 Land: 105 units @ $10,938,234
Commercial/Ind: 18 units @ $7,119,900 Commercial/Ind: 27 units @ $13,602,500
Multi-family: 16 units @ $3,501,986 Multi-family: 14 units @ $3,389,810
Agriculture: 0 units Agriculture: 0 units
Business Op: 1 unit @ $33,000 Business Op: 3 unit @ $122,500
The local real estate market is clearly improving based on the illustrations above. Only the
“Multi-family” segment of the market shows a small decline YOY. All other segments of the Kalispell
real estate market show increases. The next data set illustrates absorption estimates based on sales and
active listings per market segment.
Property # Sales Listings Years of
# Sales Listings Years of
Category 2011 1/1/2012 Supply
2012 5/14/2013 Supply
Residential 503 531 1.1
643 545 0.8
Land 42 608 14.5
105 593 5.6
Commercial 18 101 5.6
27 96 3.6
Multi-Family 16 28 1.8
14 52 3.7
The residential market is heading for a “healthy” supply demand relationship, typically noted as a
6-month inventory in relation to historic sales. All other segments of the market continue with an over-
supply of current inventory. Vacant land continues to be a segment of the local market that is clearly
troubled due to the over-supply of inventory for sale, which continues to put pressure on pricing in the
market.
The subject property value should reasonably benefit from the reduction in inventory at the lower-
end of the Kalispell market. While this may not reflect a dramatic price increase over time, it may reduce
the marketing time required to produce a sale, particularly while interest rates remain low and there is
financing available.
~ Frazier Appraisal Services, Inc. ~ 12
VALUATION
The subject property’s market value has been determined according to residential guidelines of
highest and best use as of the effective date of the appraisal. All the value conclusions herein reconcile
price with a marketing and/or exposure period of approximately one year based on market sales. Sales
comparison analysis or the “Market Approach” to value is the primary methodology utilized to estimate
the market value of residential oriented properties.
The Northwest Montana Association of Realtors MLS is the primary source of sales data. Sales
are verified by market participants when possible. Other sources of data are the Montana Department of
Revenue, physical viewing and inspection of the sales and local appraisers and my existing appraisal files.
A summary of my analysis follows.
Sales Comparison or Market analysis is the most commonly accepted valuation methodology for
single family residential properties. NMAR/MLS is the primary source of market sales. MLS reports 92
residential sales in Kalispell [twice the number from the previous appraisal] from Jan 1, 2013 through
May 10, 2013 with search parameters as single family residences less than 2,000 sq ft, sites less than 1-
acre. The average site area is 0.29-acre vs. 0.27, previous. The sale price range is $40,000 [vs. $18,000]
[low] to $316,000 [vs. $239,000] [high]. The average sale price is $155,000 [vs. $113,902] and the
median sale price is $159,460 [vs. $128,500]. The average residence [GLA] is 1,357 sq ft [v. 1,197 sq ft].
The average unit price is $116.26/sf [vs. $93.73/sf]. Twenty (20) of the 92 sales are reported as Bank
Owned or REO sales, which equates to 22% [vs. 33% in previous]. The average days on market for the
92 sales is reported at 178 days; however, this statistic is not weighted and requires further research as
listings are commonly contracted every 6-months.
I researched and gathered information on the following residential sales within the Kalispell
marketing area. Sales are chosen first by location and followed by specific characteristics to produce
recent sales that appear to bracket the subject in primary components of value. A summary of the
adjustment process follows. In sales comparison analysis, the comparable sales are selected and adjusted
to the subject. Inherent to the sales comparison analysis is to attempt to “bracket” the subject property
with sales that have superior characteristics and inferior characteristics. While none of the sales have sites
as large as the subject; all the sales herein have significant site valuations due to locational amenities.
Those factors inferior to the subject require a positive numeric adjustment while those factors superior to
the subject require a negative numeric adjustment.
A summary of my analysis follows.

COMMENTS ON ADJUSTMENTS
All the comparable sales were transferred in fee simple title. Sale #3 is adjusted upwards by 20%
of sale price to reflect the REO status of the sale based on broader sales analysis within the marketing
area. Active Listing #4 is an REO but I did not adjust because the REO and “active” status of the
property appears to balance out. That is to say I would expect a 20% discount off the list price [negative
adjustment], which is the same as the 20% positive adjustment for the REO condition; thus no adjustment
is made.
Site: Extraction and sales analysis are utilized to make site valuation adjustments. Sale #3 has a
similar site size but a negative adjustment as the entire site is level and functional, thus superior to the
subject. No other site adjustments appear to be appropriate.
Gross Living Area [above grade]: The GLA adjustment is applied at $40/sf to the difference in
above grade building area between the comparable sale and the subject. The dollar amount [$40/sf] is the
approximate average of the extracted unit price to the above grade gross living area of the comparables.
Basements [below grade building area]: There are two primary factors in basement areas; the
gross area and the amount of finished space [partitions, interior finish, fire access and overall functional
utility of the space]. The adjustment reflects the difference in the contributory value of this building area
to the subject. The adjustment ranges are approximately $20/sf.
Effective Age of the Improvements: Extraction methodology is utilized to estimate the effective
age differences between the comparable sales and the subject applied at a rate of 1% per year between the
effective age estimates times the extracted contributory value of the improvements. Effective age or
economic age reflects the effects of depreciation on improvements, which are typically, reduced due to
high-quality, maintenance, and in Sale #3 a major renovation.
Condition / Quality of Construction: Sale #1 appears to require a “condition” adjustment due to
overall age and the condition of this older residence at the time of sale.
Functional Utility: Functional utility is the ability of a property to function in the marketplace.
The subject has [negative] functional issues due to low ceiling height, general room layout and to some
extent the steep slope at the rear of the building, which could be considered a “safety” factor. Sale #1 is
included as the most similar example of a building with “functional” issues. The other three comparables
are considered superior in this regard and are adjusted downward by 10% of sale price.
Other Adjustments: The other consideration in the analysis is to estimate the differences in the
secondary improvements that the subject and comparable sales have, like the subject’s fencing and shop
area.
CONCLUSION TO SALES COMPARISON ANALYSIS
Overall market conditions are showing improvement and properties in direct competition with the
subject at the low-end of the overall price range are dramatically reducing inventory. I attempted to
bracket the subject property with properties that have both superior and inferior components of value in
order to present a reasonable opinion of the market value of the subject property as of the effective date of
the appraisal, May 10, 2013. When the three selected comparable sales and listing are adjusted to the
subject, the range in market value indications to the subject property is from $80,860 [Sale #1] to $95,630
[Listing #4]. In my analysis, I found that while the site is larger than typical, most of the excess land is
“open space” without significant impact to the overall value. Secondly, the subject’s low ceiling height
may restrict the marketability of the improvements. The subject “competes” with relatively typical
residences of varying age and quality, noting locations differ from the subject. There are currently no
listings or sales in the immediate neighborhood. Therefore, when these factors are considered, my final
market value conclusion for the subject real estate is reconciled at $90,000 as of the effective date with
consideration of the enclosed Assumptions and Limiting Conditions, weighting all four properties in the
analysis.

Subject Site
Illustration of Flood Area in blue, City Limits in pink
According to Tom Jenz, Kalispell City Planner, there are Kalispell Water and Sewer services
along Woodland Avenue that are available to the parcels, including the subject parcels, upon annexation
into the City. That said, the subject residence at 1519 Woodland Avenue, highlighted in yellow above, is
not within the City and utilizes private water well and septic system for domestic water and sewage. The
shaded areas in “pink” above reflect the Kalispell City Limits. The shaded areas in “blue” reflect those
sites within a 100-year flood zone. The residence is constructed above and out of the flood zone area.

STATEMENT OF LIMITING CONDITIONS
The appraiser's certification that appears in the appraisal report is subject to the following conditions:
1. The appraiser will not be responsible for matters of a legal nature that affect either the property being
appraised or the title to it. The appraiser assumes that the title is good and marketable and, therefore, will not
render any opinions about the title. The property is appraised on the basis of it being under responsible
ownership.
2. The appraiser has provided a plat map in the appraisal report to show approximate dimensions of the site
and is included only to assist the reader of the report in visualizing the property and understanding the
appraiser's determination of its size.
3. The appraiser has provided a sketch in the appraisal report to show approximate dimensions of the proposed
improvements and the sketch is included only to assist the reader of the report in visualizing the property and
understanding the appraiser's determination of its size.
4. The appraiser has examined the available flood maps that are provided by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (or other data sources) and has noted in the appraisal report whether the subject site is
located in an identified Special Flood Hazard Area. Because the appraiser is not a surveyor, he or she makes
no guarantees, express or implied, regarding this determination.
5. The appraiser will not give testimony or appear in court because he or she made an appraisal of the property
in question, unless specific arrangements to do so have been made beforehand.
6. The appraiser has estimated the value of the land at its highest and best use and the improvements at their
contributory value. These separate valuations of the land and improvements must not be used in conjunction
with any other appraisal and are invalid if they are so used.
7. The appraiser has noted in the appraisal report any adverse conditions (such as, needed repairs, depreciation,
the presence of hazard wastes, toxic substances, etc.) observed during the inspection of the subject property or
that he or she became aware of during the normal research involved in performing the appraisal. Unless
otherwise stated in the appraisal report, the appraiser has no knowledge of any hidden or unapparent
conditions of the property or adverse environmental conditions (including the presence of hazardous wastes,
toxic substances, etc.) that would make the property more or less valuable, and has assumed that there are no
such conditions and makes no guarantees or warranties, express or implied, regarding the condition of the
property. The appraiser will not be responsible for any such conditions that do exist or for any engineering or
testing that might be required to discover whether such conditions exist. Because the appraiser is not an expert
in the field of environmental hazards, the appraisal report must not be considered as an environmental
assessment of the property.
8. The appraiser obtained the information, estimates, and opinions that were expressed in the appraisal report
from sources that he or she considers to be reliable and believes them to be true and correct. The appraiser
does not assume responsibility for the accuracy of such items that were furnished by other parties.
9. The appraiser will not disclose the contents of the appraisal report except as provided for in the Uniform
Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.
10. The appraiser has based his or her appraisal report and valuation conclusion on the subject property As-Is
as of the effective date of appraisal.
11. The Intended User of this appraisal report is Mr. Hugh Jesse, representing the University of Montana. The
intended use is to estimate market value for the property that is the subject of this appraisal, subject to the
stated scope of work. No additional intended users are identified or permitted by the appraiser. The
appraiser's written consent and approval must also be obtained before the appraisal can be conveyed by anyone
to the public through advertising, public relations, news, sales, or other media.
