Chapter Newsletter Award Small Chapter Category: Maine Chapter Medium Chapter Category: Southern New Jersey Chapter Large Chapter Category: Ohio Chapter Southern NJ Chapter to Offer NEW Seminar The Southern NJ Chapter of the Appraisal Institute will hold a NEW 7-hour continuing education seminar on December 3rd via Zoom. The seminar, “The Cost Approach: Unnecessary or Vital to a Healthy Practice?” is a new 7-hour seminar developed by the Appraisal Institute. It will be instructed by Craig Steinley, MAI, SRA, AI-GRS, AI-RRS, who was recently elected 2021 Vice President of the National Board of Directors. How often have you have heard residential appraisers don’t need the cost approach to obtain credible assignment results? Participants in the secondary market often suggest this, and it’s even highlighted in the Fannie Mae Selling Guide that the cost approach is only required for the valuing manufactured homes. Unfortunately, not understanding the cost approach limits your ability to properly support adjustments in the sales comparison approach, understand trends in market conditions that are often driven by building costs, and recognize and quantify the forms of depreciation that can affect residential improvements. By better understanding the 8 important steps in the cost approach, you can rely on its indications whether you have little data, confusing data, or lots of data. Presentations and case studies will help you better understand the key connection between proficiency with the cost approach and your ability to support your adjustments in the sales comparison approach. This much needed seminar will show you that the cost approach truly is relevant! SEMINAR OBJECTIVES: • Estimate site value. • Estimate cost of improvements. • Estimate entrepreneurial incentive. • Estimate total cost of improvements. • Estimate depreciation in the structure. • Estimate depreciated cost. • Estimate contribution of site improvements. • Derive indicated value of the property.
