Measures for valuation accuracy

Statistical measurePurposeRecommended standard (IAAO/other)InterpretationObtainedDecision
Median ASRCentral tendency of accuracy (skewed distribution/has outliers)Between 0.90 and 1.10A median ASR of 1 would mean a perfect (accurate) prediction. Anything <0.90 suggests under-assessment. Anything >1.10 suggests an over-assessment0,90Acceptable
MAPEMeasures the degree of error (inaccuracy)Preferably below 10%, acceptable up to 20%The properties captured in the sample are largely residential but include a few income-producing properties. Therefore, the applicable standard for the MAPE is 20%18,98%Acceptable
RMSEMeasures inaccuracy/accuracyNo strict threshold; lower is betterThe IAAO standard does not provide a standard. However, the measure of accuracy is expressed in currencies, e.g. rands. The lower the RMSE, the more accurate the predictions. The RMSE is sensitive to outliersR63 122,16Acceptable
