Accumulated Depreciation

The total depreciation on an asset, and not simply the depreciation that is added each year. One may calculate the accumulated depreciation by subtracting the original value of the asset from its current book value or by multiplying the yearly depreciation by the number of years the asset has been held.

The total depreciation claimed, to date, on a property. It is an entry on the balance sheet and is supposed to properly reflect that the property is becoming less valuable with the passage of time.Realistically,in the case of real estate,the property is usually becoming more valuable each year.As a result,you may have a book value of $200,000 but a fair market value of $2,000,000.
