On July 12, 2022, the FHA announced that it is extending the initial appraisal validity period from 120 days to 180 days and the appraisal update validity period from 240 days to one year. This applies to case numbers assigned on or after June 1, 2022. This just seems like a bad idea at a time where many markets are seeing price declines.

Gone are the days of hiring a professional appraiser to solve the appraisal problem. For decades lenders have taken on the responsibility of shaping the appraisal process and dictating the solutions to the appraisal problem. Savvy appraisers push back in a positive fashion to try and enable the lender to receive a report that not only meets USPAP, FIRREA, Fannie Mae, or HUD/FHA/VA an UAD reporting guidelines, but also provides the client with a report that is clear, concise, accurate and not mis...

SEE the differences between the THREE versions of the 1004 reports, what I euphemistically call โ€œflavors.โ€ Appraisers, recent watercooler discussions by appraisers focus on the new โ€˜desktopโ€™ appraisals many will be requested to do. Now that the GSEโ€™s have โ€œformallyโ€ approved non-appraiser-inspected reports for first mortgage lending (or will very soon โ€“ not sure of the exact effective date), you may want to actually SEE the differences between the THREE versions of the 1004 repor...

No one wants to be the messengerโ€ฆ Appraisers are messengers. Why is their message so despicable? So biased? The messenger. Psychology research easily points out our tendency to dislike the bearer of bad news. Itโ€™s also intuitive. Bad news messengers do not smile when they bring the news. Sometimes they even look guilty. We humans can be really basic. We see a correlation between the bad news, the frown, and the messenger. Appraisers are messengers. Why is their message so despicable?

Folks, this article appeared in American Banker on September 7, 2022. In my view, after reading it, the article appears to present a balanced perspective about what appraisers have been experiencing since the FIRREA law was mandated back in 1989. It also exposes problems with getting new people into the appraisal profession. If you have been paying attention to appraisal related activities over the years, you will recognize the names of people quoted in this American Banker article. One thing t...

As residential property prices plateau or decline in various markets and as borrowers have financial problems with fewer financing options, there are more legal claims being filed by borrowers against appraisers and lenders in relation to appraisals for loans made in recent years. Essentially, the cases are situations of โ€œbuyer-borrower remorse.โ€ Leaving aside the appraiserโ€™s potential liability, does a mortgage lender have liability to the borrower for a negligent appraisal?
