They are not all garage, all of the time. Zillow is usually the most accurate and aligns with me. Redfin is way off. FRED is to dated.
Because that is what uws and AMC reviews use. The GESs. Avoid revision requests. If the gses aduit my reports, one less thing to worry about. It was already answered in my report.
You could ask the GSE the same question. Why did they include garage market trends in their example but rely on the sales that they used in the reports?
The same reason we use stupid sales to bracket the subject property.
The same reason I still state 15%net and 25% gross....some AMC reviews are idiots.
Similar to why the new UAD ask for sales that you consider but did not use. Why?
We do not just produce a report...we produce a product that no one believes what is in it and questions everything. . In other words, we have to get in front of it.
