California Department of Insurance New Regulation on Valuation
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
The Regulation is Long Overdue
• The discussions began as far back as 2005 when SB 2 was added to Section 1749.85 to the California Insurance Code (CIC).
• The regulation is in response to the “chronic” problem of underinsurance most notably in the area of residential properties.
13
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
The Regulation is Long Overdue
• The State Insurance Commissioner, Steve Poizner, initially proposed these regulations as a result of major wildfires most notably in the San Diego area that destroyed 1600 homes and a reported 35,000 claims according to the L. A. Times.
14
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
The Regulation is Long Overdue
• A major issue following the loss was underinsurance and who should be held responsible. Many homeowners publically complained that they felt they had been mislead by their insurers.
• United Policyholders, an insurance consumer group, called on the commissioner to take action.
15
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
The Regulation is Long Overdue
• California courts have ruled that homeowners have the primary responsibility for ensuring that they have enough insurance on their property.
• Insurers are brought into the actions because they are supplying the valuation tools that they require be completed for acceptance
16
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
The Regulation is Long Overdue
• The agent certainly has been held responsible but errors, omissions, negligence are not that easy to prove
• The regulation is a heightened responsibility on the agent/broker

Differences between Homeowners and Dwelling Property Policies
34
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Insurance Policies
• A dwelling is considered a residential property of up to four units, whether occupied by the insured or not
• There are several forms of insurance for residential properties
• The type of policy that should be written on a residence depends on the underwriting considerations discussed in this course
35
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Insurance Policies
• A Homeowner’s policy is for a dwelling that is owner occupied
• In general the major considerations that determine the type of policy to be issued include:– Type of Residence– Ownership– Occupancy– Age, Condition and Protection– Values
• Insurance Companies all have different eligibility requirements for different insurance forms

Insurance PoliciesDifference in property coverage forms
37
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
DP Forms Available
38
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Reasons to Write the Dwelling Fire Program• Home does not qualify for a Homeowners
Policy• Residence is NOT owner-occupied• Residence is in a designated brush hazard area• Residence is under construction• Home is vacant• Differences in property coverages available on
the DP series necessitates different coverage levels and valuation triggers
39
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Reasons to Write the Dwelling Fire Program• Residence value is less then the minimum or
maximum allowable by the company• Residence is a “seasonal” or secondary• Residence is not up to the “physical”
standards • Residence may be owned in a name different
from the “home owners” such as a partnership, joint venture or corporation
40
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Reasons to Write the Dwelling Fire Program
• The insured may prefer having their home issued on a Dwelling Program because:– The insured might not want or need the full
range of homeowners coverages– The Homeowners Program might be more
expensive than the insured chooses to pay
41
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
California FAIR Plan
• The California FAIR plan policy is written on a DP 1 basis
• The policy is written on an ACV basis and Replacement Cost is optional on the Dwelling
42
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
CEA (www.earthquakeauthority.com) • Dwelling coverage - The coverage limit
is the insured value of your home stated on your companion homeowner policy.
• Additional Coverages Limited Building Code Upgrade In most California communities, repairing or rebuilding a home after an earthquake must be done according to current building codes.
43
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
CEA (www.earthquakeauthority.com) • In addition to providing funds for repairing or
replacing your home, the CEA base policy includes an additional $10,000 in Building Code Upgrade coverage. Option to Increase Building Code Upgrade CoverageFor policies that renew or become effective on or after July 1, 2006, homeowners can choose to increase Building Code Upgrade coverage by an additional $10,000, for a total Building Code Upgrade coverage limit of $20,000.
44
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
CEA (www.earthquakeauthority.com) • Your CEA policy excludes some items from
dwelling coverage. A partial list of items that are not covered includes:
• Detached garages and most other structures that are not part of the dwelling
• Land damage (other than $10,000 in coverage for land stabilization)
• Swimming pools and spas • Awnings and patio coverings
45
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
CEA (www.earthquakeauthority.com) • Fences, landscaping, and irrigation systems • Antennas and satellite dishes • Patios and decks • Walkways and driveways not needed for
pedestrian or disabled access to your home • Certain decorative or artistic items such as
mirrors, chandeliers, stained glass, or mosaics

California Earthquake Authority (CEA) Section 10081• That coverage may be provided in the policy of
residential property insurance itself, either by specific policy provision or endorsement, or in a separate policy or certificate of insurance which specifically provides coverage for loss or damage caused by the peril of earthquake alone or in combination with other perils.

Loss Settlement Provisions
• Loss Settlement Provisions are contained in each type of property policy
• Loss Settlement Provisions in terms of how it applies indicates how a loss will be settled and on what basis:– Valuation trigger– What will happen if there is underinsurance– What will happen if the insured does not
repair or replace
55
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
What effect does underinsurance have on a settlement
• Insurance companies require that a home be insured to replacement cost in order for them to qualify for a homeowners policy
• Estimators are required as minimum indicators of coverage
• In the event of underinsurance the insured will NOT receive the total loss that they claim
56
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
What effect does underinsurance have on a settlement
• There is no “coinsurance” requirement on a Homeowners Policy but there is an “Insurance to Value Clause”
57
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Insurance To Value Clause on a Homeowners Policy
Buildings covered under Coverage A or B at replacement cost without deduction for depreciation, subject to the following:
a. If, at the time of loss, the amount of insurance in this policy on the damaged building is 80% or more of the full replacement cost of the building immediately before the loss, we will pay the cost to repair or replace, after application of any deductible and without deduction for depreciation, but not more than the least of the following amounts:
58
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Insurance To Value Clause on a Homeowners Policy
(1) The limit of liability under this policy that applies to the building;
(2) The replacement cost of that part of the building damaged with material of like kind and quality and for like use; or
(3) The necessary amount actually spent to repair or replace the damaged building.
If the building is rebuilt at a new premises, the cost described in (2) above is limited to the cost which would have been incurred if the building had been built at the original premises.

Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Market Value/Fair Market Value
• A term used in the Real Estate industry to represent the price a property can be sold at based on what the market will pay at any given time.
• The price at which the property is being sold normally includes the land value and area consideration.
• This is NOT appropriate to determine the amount of insurance to be carried.

Article 2. Mortgage of Real Propertyhttp://law.justia.com/codes/california/2009/civ/29
47-2955.5.html• 2955.5. (a) No lender shall require a
borrower, as a condition of receiving or maintaining a loan secured by real property, to provide hazard insurance coverage against risks to the improvements on that real property in an amount exceeding the replacement value of the improvements on the property.
63
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Actual Cash Value (ACV)
• There is NO specific definition of this word in the insurance policies
• It is broadly interpreted to mean the cost to repair or replace the property with material of like, kind and quality minus depreciation.
• The insured need not repair or replace the damaged property to be indemnified on the contract-- it is a cash settlement and a “holdback” in terms of allowing for the full Replacement Cost.
64
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Actual Cash Value (ACV)
– Physical deterioration– Functional obsolescence– Economic obsolescence due to causes
independent of the property– Effective age as compared with other
properties considering renovations and reconstruction
– Future life expectancy
65
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Replacement Cost less Depreciation of age, wear and tear
• Factors that enter into depreciation– Age– Usage– Wear and Tear– Obsolescence
• Depreciation guides are available through some insurance companies AND there are sites that have important information such as: www.claimspages.com
66
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Depreciation (Holdback)
• There is a requirement under the Replacement Cost provision of a Homeowners Policy to actually repair or replace or they will HOLDBACK the additional dollars available under the Loss Settlement Provision.
• The policy reads as follows:
67
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Depreciation (Holdback)
We will pay no more than the actual cash value of the damage until actual repair or replacement is complete. Once actual repair or replacement is complete, we will settle the loss as noted in 2.a. and b. above.
However, if the cost to repair or replace the damage is both:
(1) Less than 5% of the amount of insurance in this policy on the building; and
(2) Less than $2,500;
we will settle the loss as noted in 2.a. and b. above whether or not actual repair or replacement is complete.
68
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Depreciation (Holdback)
• You may disregard the replacement cost loss settlement provisions and make claim under this policy for loss to buildings on an actual cash value basis. You may then make claim for any additional liability according to the provisions of this Condition D. Loss Settlement, provided you notify us, within 180 days after the date of loss, of your intent to repair or replace the damaged building.

Jefferson Decision vs. ACV
• Since 1970 California has been referred to as a “Fair Market Value” State or a Jefferson Decision State.
• The case is Cheeks v. California Fair Plan.61 Cal.APP.4th423 (1998)
• In the case, Cheeks’ home was severely damaged in the Northridge Earthquake of l994
» Claims Magazine July 2000
70
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Jefferson Decision vs. ACV• It was insured on a policy with the California
Fair Plan that promised: “Covered property losses are settled at Actual Cash Value at the time of loss, but not more than the amount required to repair or replace the damaged property.”
• Cheeks sued, contended that the ACV of his home, based on its market value, was more then the insurer’s estimate
71
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Jefferson Decision vs. ACV
• The basic test is what would a willing buyer pay for a property irrespective of land consideration
72
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Replacement Cost
• This is the cost to repair or replace the property with materials of "like, kind and quality" without depreciation.
• Replacement cost is based on what it would cost to replace the structure on the same premises and for the same purpose without the requirement to do so.
• Replacement cost would be different based on different types of structures; construction; square footage; upgrades
73
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Replacement Cost• Replacement Cost applies to different types of
structures including– Dwelling– Detached Garage– Detached buildings other than garages– Structures such as swimming pools, cabanas,
etc
• CIC Code 10102 has language precluding the use of Guaranteed Replacement Cost

75
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Replacement Cost CIC Section 2051 and 2051.5• If the policy requires the insured to repair,
rebuild, or replace the damaged property in order to collect the full replacement cost, the insurer shall pay the actual cash value of the damaged property, as defined in Section 2051, until the damaged property is repaired, rebuilt, or replaced.
76
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Replacement Cost CIC Section 2051 and 2051.5• Once the property is repaired, rebuilt, or
replaced, the insurer shall pay the difference between the actual cash value payment made and the full replacement cost reasonably paid to replace the damaged property, up to the limits stated in the policy.
77
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Replacement Cost CIC Section 2051 and 2051.5• (c) In the event of a total loss of the insured
structure, no policy issued or delivered in this state may contain a provision that limits or denies payment of the replacement cost in the event the insured decides to rebuild or replace the property at a location other than the insured premises. However, the measure of indemnity shall be based upon the replacement cost of the insured property and shall not be based upon the cost to repair, rebuild, or replace at a location other than the insured premises.
78

Reproduction Cost
• This is the cost to reproduce with identical types of materials rather than a functional equivalent.
• It is used for special types of construction where reproducing the structure identically is necessary based on its value, function, or aesthetic quality.
93
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Reproduction Cost
• If you own an historic building, whether it is a stately home or an ancient cottage, a standard policy from a general insurance provider could fall well short of expectations if you need to make a claim. If your building is also listed, it is protected by law, limiting repair options and making some higher costs unavoidable: it is the responsibility of the owner to insure it properly.

Laguna Fires
• That was the scene in October 1993 after a fire storm destroyed nearly 400 homes in Laguna Beach, California. The fires started several miles inland and swept to the sea at a brisk 2 mph to 4 mph, consuming increasingly thick vegetation along the way.
102
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Laguna Fires
• Frequently, the flames boiled 50 ft. or 60 ft. into the air, and they reached temperatures of 2,000°F or greater
• The most obvious question homeowners, builders, architects and code officials asked as they combed the rubble for clues was how did a precious few structures survive such an inferno while houses on all sides vanished in the fire? What they learned was a number of lessons that likely will work their way into local building codes and should help to reduce the damage of future fires.
103
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Laguna Fires
• The home of To Bui and Doris Bender was called a "miracle house" by the Los Angeles Times because of its dramatic survival in a neighborhood almost totally devastated by the fire. Why did this trilevel structure and a few others like it survive while neighbors' homes on all sides, sometimes no more than 10 ft. or 15 ft. away, burned to the ground?
104
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Laguna Fires
• "It's in the details," Bui insists. He knows about such details. Originally from Vietnam, he lived and worked as a structural engineer in Germany for more than 10 years. There, the predominant building materials are concrete, stone, brick and steel. "In Germany, structures are designed to last hundreds of years," he said. "I built my house to last."

Types of Foundations
• Determining the types of foundations is very important for purposes of loss settlement and determination of value
• If a foundation is cracked due to excessive heat, for example in a fire, then the loss is considered a constructive total loss and the foundation must be replaced
• Often times the foundation may not be up to code such as in the example of the Oakland Fires
108
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Types of Foundations
• Type of Foundation– Depending on when and where a house was
built, the foundation may be made of stone, brick, preservative-treated lumber, concrete block, or poured concrete. By far the most common material for foundations is concrete
– There are three types of conventional concrete foundations: poured concrete, concrete block, and post-and-pier. Size and acceptable types are regulated by building codes
109
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Foundations and the Homeowners
To determine the amount of insurance required to equal 80% of the full replacement cost of the building immediately before the loss, do not include the value of:
(1) Excavations, footings, foundations, piers, or any other structures or devices that support all or part of the building, which are below the undersurface of the lowest basement floor;
(2) Those supports described in (1) above which are below the surface of the ground inside the foundation walls, if there is no basement; and
(3) Underground flues, pipes, wiring and drains.
110
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Roofing Materials
• Roofing Materials are very important in terms of fire hazard
• Many older types of roofs are no longer acceptable, such as wood shake, due to their susceptibility to fire.
• Example is the Laguna Fires where the roofs caught on fire and created explosions that was a major cause in spreading the loss to other homes.
111
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Roofing Materials
• Roofing materials can be a significant cost factor in replacement of homes
– Shingles—Asphalt, Shingles Architectural– Wood Shake, Wood Victorian Scallop– Tile—Clay Concrete– Tar & Gravel– Slate– Tin– Copper– Foam

Hazards
There are checklists that are useful to help identify hazards
and mitigate them such as: www.befiresmart.com/prot
ect
116
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Slope
• The Slope on which a home is built enters into the per square footage replacement cost.
• As relates slope, various schemes for rating fire hazard have been developed
• Five elements chosen by many agencies are: vegetation, canopy cover, slope, aspect, and elevation
• Slope and Other Fire Hazard Considerations http://grayback.com/applegate-valley/fireplan/how-freq.htm
117
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Slope and Other Fire Hazard Considerations• Vegetation directly influences rate of
spread,• Canopy cover and ladder fuels are
closely related when it comes to hazard rating. A greater percentage of ladder fuels means a greater likelihood of a surface fire moving into the crown canopy, increasing the difficulty of suppressing the fire.
118
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Slope and Other Fire Hazard Considerations• Gravity dictates that many if not most
things travel downhill faster than uphill. As the slope becomes steeper, fire increases in speed. On flat terrain, the spread of fire relies more on wind.
119
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Slope
• Slope is graded in the following broad categories– Flat to Slight– Moderate– Steep
120
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Age of the structure or the year it was built• The age of the structure is important for
valuation from a couple of aspects– Building could be substantially out of
code– Building may be able to be built as it
was prior to the loss– The building my be “historical” or have
unique building items that must be included in Replacement Cost

CAT Losses make a big difference
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Oakland Fires 1991
The destructive Oakland fires were an eye-opener when it came to rebuilding costs in the Bay Area. With the steep slopes in the Oakland hills, the bill came in at $400 per square foot rather than the $100 national average. www.paloaltoonline.com
123
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Effects of Catastrophes on Replacement Cost• Under Normal Situations Repair and Replace• Following a CAT loss the costs of construction
can sky rocket– Cost of permits– Change in building codes– Supply and demand (Building Supplies)– Fuel Charges– Inability to replace at the same site—
especially a consider in flood prone areas– Construction Labor Sources

Polling Question #8
126
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Guaranteed Replacement Cost
• The limit of insurance is suspended on the described property.
• In the event of a total loss, the recovery is the actual amount of the loss.
• In the event of a partial loss, the policy pays replacement cost or ACV if the property is not replaced.
127
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Guaranteed Replacement Cost
• Many homeowner policies prior to 1991 provided this enhanced coverage.
• In the aftermath of a catastrophic fire in the Berkeley Hills above Oakland, most homeowner policies revised this provision.
128
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
CIC Code as relates Guaranteed Replacement Cost 10102• Significant misuse of the “Guaranteed
Replacement Cost Endorsement” and Extended Replacement Costs have resulted in law suits following losses.
• Specifically the term Guaranteed was misused leading the insured to believe that the full cost of replacement was “guaranteed” without restriction. According the code makes specific reference to this.
129
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Guaranteed Replacement Cost Section 10102 of CIC• e) No policy of residential property insurance may be
initially issued on and after January 1, 1993, as guaranteed replacement cost coverage if it contains any maximum limitation of coverage based on any set dollar limits, percentage amounts, construction cost limits, indexing, or any other preset maximum limitation for covered damage to the insured dwelling. The limitations referred to in this section are solely applicable to dwelling structure coverages. Endorsements covering additional risks to the insurer's dwelling structure coverage may have internal limits as long as those endorsements are not called guaranteed replacement cost coverage.

131
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Extended and Guaranteed
• Misuse of Extended Replacement Cost AND Guaranteed Replacement Cost does NOT remove the obligation to insure to value and it is inappropriate and harmful to an insured to underinsure their property and rely on either of these endorsements as remedies.
132
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Extended Replacement Cost
• Most homeowner policies today provide coverage for the dwelling at an increased percentage of the specified amount on the policy.
• This provision has in the past been mis-used in setting value
133
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Extended Replacement Cost
• Commonly at 125% of the specified amount.• Requires the home to be insured to 100% of
the insurance company’s replacement value.• Must report any remodeling or additions that
increase the reconstruction cost above $5,000 or 5%, whichever is less.
• What does it really mean anyway?????
134
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Catastrophe Coverages and Types of Replacement Cost• Following a Catastrophe loss there will be
increased costs of construction due to such issues as: construction labor, building supplies, fuel, transportation issues and permit restriction.
• All of these can contribute to demand surge and the cost of rebuilding
• Replacement Cost estimators do not take into account these increased costs
• This is the purpose of the Extended Replacement Cost Endorsement
135
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Inflation Guard• An Inflation Guard is usually a built in feature
on a Homeowners and Commercial Property Form.
• The Inflation Guard may appear as a percentage on the Declarations Page
• The intent of the Inflation Guard is to provide coverage during the policy period to increase by a percentage for inflation of building costs.
136
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Inflation Guard HO 04 46
• For an additional premium, the limits of liability for Coverages A, B, C and D will be increased annually by %*, applied pro rata during the policy period.

Building Code Upgrades
• Building Code upgrades deal with the size and construction of the entire structures and separately for the square footage of the living space. Valuation must be done to determine the amount necessary under the Building Ordinance Endorsements
• This is not only important for older homes but is part of insurance company’s eligibility.
142
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Building Code Upgrades
• If a home is over a certain age then it must have required upgrades which would include such items as electrical, plumbing, and roofing. The company is specifically asking these questions to mitigate the fire exposure and exposure to other types of losses.
143
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Building Code Upgradeswww.bsc.ca.gov
Building codes regulate how a building has to be reconstructed following a loss.
• Types of construction and costs attached thereto can vary based on many factors:
• Size of the building and at what point it must be sprinklered.
• Number of stories and nonstandard interior wall heights is a factor.
144
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Building Code Upgradeswww.bsc.ca.gov
• There is a point with damage, when the building must be ripped down and replaced in its entirety rather than simply repairing damage.
• There are always additional costs associated with building a custom home.
145
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Building Code Upgradeswww.bsc.ca.gov
• Geographic location in terms of set backs, brush hazard and proximity to other hazards
• Construction costs differ tremendously based on where the home is being built. This differs state by state and city by city.
• Cost of demolition and debris removal are often written for a separate limit from the increased cost of construction.

Proprietary Valuation Tools
• Zillow• Real Quest• Netroline• Google Maps
154
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Why Values Are So Important
• Accurate values avoid– Over insuring– Under insuring– Ultimately used to establish a fair premium
for the property at risk
155
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Responsibility• Whose responsibility is it to establish
property values for the personal lines client.– The responsibility is the property owner’s not
the insurance agent or insurance company– IF the insurance client asks to be “fully”
insured then a heightened responsibility exists.
– The insurance agent has guidelines such as estimators but these are only minimum limits that should be carried
156
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
How Are Values Established??
• Purchase Price of the home– Insureds often want to insure for what
they purchased the property for
• Bank’s requirements– Banks often want the insurance to equal
the amount of the loan
157
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Methodology of Determining Value
• Prior Policies– New buyers may assume the coverage of
the prior homeowner• Property Owner
– Property owners typically only know what they paid for the property or the comps
– The property owner typically does not understand how the policy will pay in the event of a loss.
158
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Methodology of Determining Value
• Real Estate Appraisals– Real estate appraisals are sometimes
done by insurance agents utilizing independent companies. These appraisals, while they cost money, are a very good indicator of value
• Insurance Company’s Valuation Software– Almost all insurance carriers provide
estimators through their portal
159
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com
Methodology of Determining Value
• Contractor’s and Expert’s estimates or opinions– The same comment applies here as
with independent appraisals• Cost per square footage Estimates
