"Quantifiable Market-Derived Methods" for adjustments required by FNMA/USPAP

[TerryRohrer]

Thirty-two pages and 320 comments in, I can no longer hold my tongue. Since the OP was posted, I have wondered where the phrase "quantifiable market-derived methods" came from. Yet, despite several attempts to find something similar (assuming it originated in the FNMA selling guide), I haven't seen it anywhere else. I thought I would briefly join the AI crowd and googled "what are 'quantifiable market-derived methods". AI was completely silent on the matter. Results included a link to this thread and a few others, presumably where this thread is mentioned ( I have never pondered another topic so obscure that Google only provided 5 responses). So, given all this discussion, maybe someone can help me out, and explain exactly what market-derived methods ya'all are discussing, and how you measure and "quantify" them? And where does someone require their inclusion in an appraisal report?

Guess I'll go back to munching the mushroom medium and wait for answers.

Every appraiser has their own idea of what 'quantifiable market-derived methods" required by Fannie.
Fannie gives us that latitude. At least Fernando does.
