Description
Residential Quality, Condition and Effective Age Workshop
This workshop will review the characteristics that determine construction quality for residential properties by use of the Marshall & Swift Valuation Service. House images will be included in the presentation and will lead to extensive classroom participation. Actual construction costs will also be considered as a guide to determining quality. Images will also assist in the discussion on rating homes for condition in relationship to the definition and description for each condition rating. The determination of condition will lead directly into calculations for effective age. Effective age will be defined and demonstrated on how to extract it from the market. Several data sets will be provided for the students to calculate effective age and how to use for the development of a depreciation or percent good table. Topics discussed are: USPAP review, cost approach, quality, condition, physical deterioration using effective age, functional obsolescence, external obsolescence and depreciation and effective age extraction.
Words, Words and Some Numbers: Sales Ratios in Action
This workshop focuses on the statistics used in sales ratio studies and how those can translate to the day-to-day life of an assessment office. Many of appraisers are taught how to calculate these statistics, but many do not know what should be done once they have them.
The material brings light on how a ratio study can help the assessor’s office produce more accurate work and make the work process more efficient.
This will be an interactive workshop that encourages and solicits attendee’s participation in the problem solving. Attendees are encouraged to add their own examples as the class works together on typical challenges and scenarios that pop up at assessment offices.
THIS 2 CLASS SESSION WILL BE MONDAY AND TUESDAY. INSTRUCTION WILL BEGIN AT 8:00 AM EACH DAY.
