Stable Market

Good point.
Appraiser can interpret trend based on past year or 6 months?
Or regardless in the past, current price trend which can be different. Appraisers have so many ways to interpret.
Since the question is asked in the present tense ( Are values increasing or declining?), the current price trends should prevail.

You should make an effort to provide accurate information. The actual standard is:

"The trend indicated in the appraisal report must reflect the overall movement of the market based on a minimum of 12 months of data."

As DWiley has clarified in the pages, if prices move up for 6 months, and then are unchanged for 6 months, the price trend to report is increasing, even if prices over the past six months have been unchanged.

Yet the 1004MC emphasizes on past trends, thus appraisers rely on those figures.
Never understood just like comparing to stock market.
Who cares the trend past 6 months or year for stocks. More important is what's happening now.
 
True form filler, just expand the neighborhood to fill out the form instead of putting the correct data on the form
Reviewers allow it and accept it. Stop overthinking and move on to next appraisal.
