Webinar Description
In Episode 7 of our webinar series, How to Excel for Appraisers, we focus on Contributory Value.
You will learn to the navigate the sales comparison grid from the perspective of contributory value. In
the Cost Approach, contributory value is the same as depreciated cost. Contributory value can be
expressed in dollars or as a percentage of cost.
Why is this important to you?
1. The cost approach shows the percentage of cost paid in the market.
2. Replacement cost is an unbiased source of data, free from distortions that are possible in MLS
data.
In Part 1 you will receive a scatterplot that extracts the cost of one more square foot of GLA from
unbiased cost data. You will also receive an Excel grid template. Together we will work through a grid
example using depreciated cost adjustments.
Contributory Value 2 will show how to navigate the remaining grid categories using sensitivity analysis.
