The concept and estimation of economic life in the residential appraisal process
Article Abstract:
Estimating remaining economic life of residential structures for appraisal purposes has been the topic of debate in recent years. Critics contend that this method can lead to unfair mortgage lending practices, especially in older neighborhoods. A study of the relationship between estimated remaining economic life and the market value of a home did not lead to one generalization; however, an objective method of estimating remaining economic life was developed into a remaining life table.
