Appraisal Institute Leads Coalition on Mortgage Credit Modernization
The Appraisal Institute recently led a coalition of national appraisal organizations in responding to federal financial regulators as they consider implementation of the Administration's Executive Order on promoting access to mortgage credit. The coalition's letter addressed a proposal to increase the current $400,000 residential appraisal threshold to $650,000, urging regulators to take a risk-based approach and opposing the increase without evidence that it won't raise collateral risk. The coalition also raised concerns about the growing use of evaluations outside the traditional appraisal regulatory framework and noted that automated valuation tools carry particular challenges in rural markets with limited comparable sales.
