Physical Terrain and Land Leveling

Topography directly affects construction cost and usability. Comparables may differ in grading, elevation, or natural slope.

• If the subject land is flat and ready for construction, it holds more value than sloped or uneven comparables
  
• Comparables requiring landfilling or grading are adjusted downward when compared to leveled subject land
  
• Low-lying or waterlogged plots reduce usability and are valued lower than well-drained sites

Site Condition and Readiness

Site condition includes accessibility, presence of vegetation, fencing, and surface condition. These influence both development time and investment readiness.

• A cleared, fenced, and compacted site is valued higher than comparables needing preparation
  
• Sites with road access and boundary walls are adjusted upward over raw or inaccessible land
  
• Comparables requiring major cleanup or vegetation removal are considered less favorable

Accurate adjustments based on topography and condition help reflect the subject land’s true development potential and market competitiveness.
