<br />Summary
<br />Appellant has not specified an indicated market value.
<br />
<br />Subject is a two story office building, built in 1974. It is located near West Acres shopping center, adjacent to Interstate 29 and 17th Avenue
<br />S. The building has a full basement, with roughly half of the square footage taken by a parking garage. The finish of the building is dated.
<br />The parcel has a large, heavily paved parking lot. The subject sold in the summer of 2022 after a lengthy listing period. The seller was a non-
<br />profit organization. The buyer and seller may not have been equally motivated. Regardless, the sale appears to be arms-length in the sense
<br />that both parties were acting independently and in their own self-interest.
<br />
<br />City of Fargo and Cass County staff viewed the building with the owner. City of Fargo staff examined the value with the cost approach, sales
<br />comparison approach, and income approach. The indicated value range was between $3,976,000 (sales comparison approach) and
<br />$4,465,000 (cost approach). We summarize the sales comparison approach below.
