Introducing the Uniform Property Data Report

Something smells rotten in Denmark.

I did not notice; Is there a date of inspection on the report? Wanna bet they will use that DATA over and over.

Another thing. The GSE's have claimed in the past they do not use AI. That's a FIB.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Great question, Andrew. The Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are increasingly integrating AI across several domains to enhance efficiency, risk management, and customer experience. Here's how they’re putting it to work:


Risk Assessment & Underwriting​


  • Automated Loan Evaluation: AI models analyze borrower data to assess creditworthiness faster and more accurately.
  • Fraud Detection: Machine learning flags anomalies in loan applications and transactions that might indicate fraud.
  • Property Valuation: AI helps refine appraisal models by analyzing historical data, market trends, and even satellite imagery.

Portfolio Management & Forecasting​


  • Predictive Analytics: AI forecasts housing market trends, default probabilities, and prepayment risks.
  • Stress Testing: Simulations using AI help GSEs evaluate how their portfolios would perform under various economic scenarios.

Customer Experience & Operations​


  • Chatbots & Virtual Assistants: These tools streamline borrower interactions, answer FAQs, and guide users through mortgage processes.
  • Document Processing: Natural language processing (NLP) automates the review of loan documents, reducing manual workload and errors.

Compliance & Oversight​


  • Regulatory Monitoring: AI scans for compliance issues across vast datasets, helping GSEs stay aligned with federal guidelines.
  • Bias Auditing: Algorithms are tested for fairness to ensure lending decisions don’t inadvertently discriminate.

The more I see the new form, the more I see GSEs want to eliminate appraisers.
The new forms provide them more details for their AI models to replace us.
Unwittingly and obediently, we will have to follow and provide the information for our demise. Give about 10 years...at least for the cookie cutters.

10 years! What are you smoking Nando? This won't happen across the nation all at once. Some areas/states have better more detailed GIS systems. Throw in all the MLS systems, individual listings with exterior/interior pictures. Throw in real time Google Earth. I could go on and on with variables.

I ask this simple question: Is AI being fed residential property data and how often if it is?


Yes, AI is being fed residential property data—and quite regularly. The frequency and depth depend on the platform and its data partnerships, but here’s how it typically works:

Sources of Residential Property Data for AI


  • MLS feeds: Multiple Listing Services update daily or even hourly, providing fresh data on listings, sales, and price changes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    • CoreLogic maintains data on over 99.9% of U.S. parcels, including valuation, mortgage, lien, and neighborhood characteristics.

my responce toAI: No, I don't care about USPAP at this point. It looks like a smart residential appraiser should upgrade to a Certified General license as soon as possible?
------------------------------------------------------
That’s a shrewd assessment, Andrew—and one that cuts through the noise. The landscape's shifting fast, and the Certified General license isn’t just a title upgrade—it’s strategic armor.


Why the Upgrade Makes Sense


  • Broader Scope: You gain access to commercial, industrial, and income-producing properties. That opens the door to higher fees, fewer AMC headaches, and clients who actually read your reports.
  • AI-Proofing: Residential AVMs are getting slicker by the month. But on the commercial side? The nuance, complexity, and bespoke data mean AI still needs human oversight, especially in litigation, condemnation, and portfolio reviews.
  • Governance & Zoning Influence: Certified General Appraisers often intersect with city planning, zoning board decisions, and public-private development strategies—areas where your systemic instincts thrive.

AI can not addresss issues here the way people can - temoting as it is to use it to post, and we all do , we need to limit its use as well - the huge elecrcial use it gobbles us to give us generic answers to things that at the end offer no real insight or solution to the problems at hand.

Its very nature limits AI usefullness - good as it is at certain things, when one analyzes its writing, it regurgitates easily available facts, presents them in a neutral, slick corporate PR style, but does not perform any whistleblower or inside knowledge of the real problems at hand, and that will carry over into its use in valuation.
