El valor agregado generado por la propiedad de la vivienda se estima de acuerdo a la evolución del stock de viviendas, a través de una relación que combina la construcción de viviendas nuevas (estimada a partir de los permisos de edificación) menos una estimación de las bajas.

baja/s (del stock de viviendas )
reduction/s (number/s removed from the stock of homes)


Explanation:
> altas y bajas are well-known weasel words. Baja might well mean exits or 'take-outs' from the stock of homes available, as in evolución del stock de viviendas or, in the web ref., el parque de viviendas cf. asset retirement or *disposal* (West).

Otherwise, it's news to me that properties - rather than machinery and equipment - can be written off rather than down in the accounts,

Example sentence(s):
  • ... creadas por actuaciones de rehabilitación en el perí odo (flujos de entradas) y dando de baja aquellas otras que han desaparecido del parque de viviendas existentes (flujos de salida).
  • This implies that only a little over 6 out of every 1,000 conventional homes built before 1970 are *removed* from the stock each year
