The Appraisal Blog

I just received a list of words from an AMC that I am not allowed to use in my reports anymore.  Truth be told I see only one or two words in this list that I occasionally use in my reports.  Desirable  ... in reference to the climate in San Diego, and Gentrification ... in reference to communities in which there is a trend towards remodeling and enlarging the homes in the community.  Oh ... and Indian ... as in the city of Indian Wells.

But the notion that we have become so sensitive to be offended by some of these words is disturbing.
