Retrospective

A retrospective appraisal is an appraisal of the property that gives the market value at another time (in the past) than when the appraisal is being written. Many times due to family matters such as death, bankruptcy, divorce, fire or a previous and bad appraisal was completed, value of real estate is needed for a time in the past.
