Santa Clara County
An estate includes a two-to-four-unit property
When the estate owns a duplex, triplex, or fourplex and value depends on both residential market appeal and income-producing utility.
Small residential income properties differ from single-family homes because unit mix, rents, expenses, occupancy, and condition may influence buyer decisions.
Santa Clara County estates may include older Silicon Valley homes, attached housing, luxury residences, rural-residential property, and real estate affected by decades of market change.
The appraiser may need leases, rent information, utility arrangements, and access to each unit to develop an appropriate residential income-property analysis.
