<p>IR makes a compelling case for valuing residential real estate at rent *160.</p>
<p>Since we know that Appraisers have three methodolgies: cost appoach, sales comparison approach and income approach, does this mean that the first two approaches are not valid?</p>
<p>All Appraisers - even the most stringent and diligent - have been going with the flow, so-to-speak, and issuing values higher than indicated by the cost approach.</p>
<p>In fact, we know that at the most-basic level, an appraisal today merely confirms where a property is valued relative to other recently-sold, similar properties in its market area.</p>
<p>Does anyone think that appraisal methodologies will change, or even become obsolete?</p>
