We're excited to launch this alert focused on the valuation part of the mortgage process.
Good afternoon —
Welcome to the inaugural send of our new AppraisalAlert newsletter! We're excited to launch this new alert focused on the valuation part of the mortgage process, which has reached a real tipping point in terms of acceptance of different risk models and automation.
Perhaps nothing illustrates that more than the FHFA's recent Request for Input on hybrid appraisals, updating the UAD and the increased use of appraisal waivers. Clearly the calculus on valuations is changing and we want to give our readers focused coverage on such an important area.
Once per week, we'll feature content that speaks to some of the most pressing issues in appraisal and valuation today, including:
The rise of automated models and what that means for appraisers
Changing FHFA appraisal standards
Addressing the appraiser shortage
Evaluating comps in a white-hot market
What to expect from a regulatory standpoint
And more!
We're especially grateful to our launch partner, CoreLogic, for sponsoring this newsletter!
Overcoming the current appraiser shortage is the first hurdle in restocking the shallow field. But compounding the problem is a lack of appraisers entering the profession.
