In some cases, the final value conclusion may exceed the adjusted comparable 'range' in the Sales Comparison Approach with the Competitive Listings Analysis or Pending Sales given equal or more weight per reasonable 'client assignment conditions and guidance' as to transitioning or fluctuating markets.
Regardless of the subject property being an REO/Bank Owned or Short Sale, this appraisal is in compliance with the definition of Market Value set out in the Limiting Condition and Certification section. Per Fannie Mae's reasonable client assignment condition, the purpose of the appraisal is to provide the subject's most probable selling price pursuant to the definition of Market Value, both 'AS IS and AS REPAIRED' within a 90-120 day marketing time, and not 'liquidation value'. Use of distressed sales is not preferred, however, in cases where there are no other suitable arm's-length properties available, the Appraiser(s) may have no alternative but to use a distressed sale and if the market data suggests a 'distressed sale' adjustment is needed to bring its adjusted value in line with the arm's-length data, the adjustment is deemed warranted and supported.
