The Real Estate Valuation Tool for Excel calculates and analyzes expected cash
flows from one or more real estate investments. It can be used to evaluate a
single real estate investment or to compare one property to another.
Rather than relying on subjective market factors as you might if you were
looking to pay the lowest price for your primary residence, the Real Estate
Valuation Tool for Excel values the discounted cash flows
generated by the property. This is an excellent way to compare one investment
property to another.
The model is also flexible, allowing the practitioner to vary the analysis based
on variables such as: expected return on the overall market, assumed purchase
and sales prices of the individual properties, and the proportion of various
expenses relative to rents and receipts. Changes made to one part of the model
automatically flow through to the other parts, ultimately affecting the overall
valuation of the property.
When comparing two properties, a summary of the comparison automatically
displays at the bottom of the analysis. It highlights the property that
represents the more favorable investment opportunity based on higher net present
value.
Date and number fields may be re-formatted by the user (using Excel's built-in
formatting capabilities) to accommodate non-US conventions.
The Real Estate Valuation Tool for Excel is an excellent tool for valuing
stand-alone investment properties and comparing one property to another. It
provides a detailed valuation while remaining flexible and easy-to-use.
