For compliance with the Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines, the report should include an “As Is” value on the effective date of the report if this is an in-house transaction (secondary market appraisals are exempt from this). If this is a proposed construction and the report includes a completed Cost Approach, the Site Value indicated should suffice as the “As Is” value if construction has not started and the site is still vacant as of the effective date. There is no need to ask the appraiser to adjust the report to note this to be an “As Is” value if the site is vacant. However, if there are any other improvements (an existing barn, for example) or if construction has already begun, then the Site Value may not be sufficicent and the report needs to address what the “As Is” value is on the effective date along with a summary of support for that value.
