Time adjustments are an important part of the valuator’s toolbox. An accurately calculated time curve enables older sales to be brought into the analysis and also serve as a measure of quality after the proposed values are generated. This webinar will provide an overview of various techniques used in establishing time adjustments with the focus on mass appraisal techniques using multiple regression analysis. It will outline various methods of predicting time adjustments and their application for residential properties. The webinar will also look at the challenges valuators face when developing time adjustments for non-residential properties with a view into possible solutions.
In mass appraisal the quality and accuracy of assessed values in relation to the reality of the market as expressed by arm’s length sales requires close attention. Appraisal level and appraisal uniformity are two test that are relied upon by assessment jurisdictions to measure the effectiveness of their results. This webinar will take a closer look at assessment to sale ratios, measures of central tendencies and graphic analysis assessors and modelers use to better understand and measure the accuracy of predicted values. The webinar will also look at appraisal uniformity testing within grouping and between groupings, horizontal and vertical equity, how to read various statistical measures and other measures and tools to help in the overall ratio review.

PREMABLE: The COVID pandemic has created additional challenges for corporate property tax managers overseeing an already complicated process. Complexities such as dealing with multiple sources of information and limited access to data, the lack of standardization and consistency, and effectively communicating with business units within the organization have all been further complicated by the pandemic. As the property tax burden is shifting due to COVID-19’s impact on the various property classes, additional challenges are created by a lack of understanding of the tax assessment cycles in local jurisdictions and how local assessors deploy appraisal methods. Further challenges include the inability to easily analyze property assessments based on market research to determine if they are fairly assessed and to provide concise and clear reporting in sufficient detail to allowed informed decisions.
This one-day workshop, hosted by IPTI’s Corporate Advisory Committee, will include experience sharing and interactive discussions dealing with many of the above challenges.

Portfolio sales most often occur for investment grade properties. These sales can include many specific properties in the portfolio transfer. In an increasingly uncertain economic environment, some corporations are turning to their existing real estate as a source of liquidity, with the sale of portfolios becoming a common strategy. Acceleration of portfolio sale-and-leasebacks is already being attributed to the current coronavirus (COVID-19) volatility. In the U.S, the likes of Bed Bath & Beyond and Macy’s sold their real estate prior to Covid-19. Sale-and-leaseback deals, where companies sell their own real estate to unlock capital then lease the asset back, are set to continue in popularity, building on the momentum of the past five years. This webinar will explore these sorts of transactions, provide a real example, and propose best practice course of action for segregating out individual values for analysis and defense.

Even before the pandemic, people were going to malls less often – including the top-tier ones that generate the most revenue per square foot. In 2019, foot traffic at Canada’s top 10 malls fell by 22 per cent compared with the previous year. Over 2,000 stores in Canada closed in 2020, more than three times the prior year’s number, according to Cushman & Wakefield. That was led by Starbucks and David’s Tea, but also included many mall stalwarts that either pared down their number of locations – such as Aldo, Bizou, Bouclair, Ricki’s and Stokes – or decided to close altogether, such as Carlton Cards and Addition Elle. This session will examine the impact on this sector to date and look forward at what the indicators are for the future.
