(a) Real property acquired pursuant to a mortgage loan or contract for sale, in the absence of a recent appraisal deemed by the Commissioner to be reliable, shall not be valued at an amount greater than the unpaid principal of the defaulted loan or contract plus interest due and accrued at the date of such acquisition, together with any taxes and expenses paid or incurred in connection with such acquisition, and the cost of improvements thereafter made by the insurer and any amounts thereafter paid by the insurer on assessments levied for improvements in connection with the property.

(b) Real property owned by an insurer shall be valued at cost plus capital improvements less depreciation. Such a value shall not be in excess of the NAIC accounting practices and procedures manual valuation nor in excess of fair market value as determined by a recent appraisal acceptable to the Commissioner. If the valuation is based on an appraisal more than 3 years old, the Commissioner may require a new appraisal to determine fair market value.
