And here is another article quoting one of the GSEs gang of six about lowering Appraisal Costs.
How much less, Brenan wouldn’t say. But Fannie Mae, based on 121,000 property data collection submissions in its pilot from April 2021 through March 2022, said lenders were able to shave off, on average, four days compared to traditional appraisals.
The cost savings was about $90 to consumers, although a spokesperson said pricing for appraisals is set by the market and Fannie Mae is not involved. Appraisal costs vary widely, depending on the complexity of the assignment, but could fall anywhere from $250 to upward of $500.
To the extent that appraisers do less work on hybrid appraisals than traditional appraisals, Clear Capital expects their rate of pay to be lower.

The hybrid appraisal is here. Who benefits?
Freddie Mac now allows remote appraisals on some refis, but it remains to be seen if they will reduce racial bias, a key GSE policy goal.
