The word "Average" in the improvements section - possible bias?

the woke jokes think boys are girls and girls are boys..and cant understand average:rof: :rof: :rof:
Don't get me into homogeneous and heterogeneous relative to real property. Your killing me boy.
 
I could care less about sexual orientation or anything along those lines when I appraise single family housing.

I could care less about it. I focus on the subject property real property rights on market value appraisal.

I told you I am nasty bum.
 
I make big adjustments on grid line sometimes when all are classified as C3.

I do explain in sales comparison comments why the adjustments were made.
 

The Average Appraiser Is Aging Out Of The Workforce. A Crippling Labor Shortage Looms​

This is Part 2 of a four-part Bisnow investigative series exploring the appraisal profession, its importance to commercial real estate and the broader economy, and the people and organizations that govern the industry. Read Part 1 here, Part 3 here and Part 4 here.

Beverly Varallo was one year into her first mentorship to become a licensed appraiser when she realized that the woman under whom she was training wasn’t keeping up her end of the deal.

Then, they decided to make the definition of "Average" - "absolute," i.e., not relative. It was never good enough, but then they made it worse. The decision was approved by some AI Course Instructor gal who recently passed away and is praised like some "pioneer." It was a dumb decision. And actually, when I discussed it with her, she appeared to know it. She was pressured by someone.

They should have made both condition and quality relative to the market area, and 0.00-100.00% - from the beginning --- but there isn't a single appraiser in the US in a decision-making position, - with the intelligence and guts to insist that. I've explained the logic behind this elsewhere.

But, she could afford to purchase a nice Ram 2500. Have to admire her for that.

The UAD condition and quality ratings are an absolute disaster. Like you said the ratings should be relative which offers insights into market positioning and competitive advantage it helps buyers and sellers understand how a property stacks up against similar homes, influencing pricing strategies, and is useful for identifying trends in the housing market and making informed investment decisions. The funny thing is that absolute ratings lack context in relation to the market or neighborhood, which can lead to misinterpretation of value. How they cannot understand such a simple concept is baffling. Even Fannie and Freddie have admitted that C3 has become the new “Average”.
 
Narrative report? I don't see that happening.

Your killing me boy.

I think your trying to kill me.

I'm hard to kill.

The Lord will take my life soon. I am old man. God ain't done with me yet. He knows my days like hairs on my head and grains of sand on the sea.

He knows. When you are creator, you know. I am not promised tomorrow.

God only knows what gses and AMCs are coming out with next.
 
The UAD C & Q rating should be included in a separate addendum rather than in the sales grid, as it does not facilitate effective analysis. Is there anyone at the GSEs who possesses a modicum of common sense?
