UAD 3.6 discussion

Why do you need all that charts and ****, when you can clearly see trends when you put 3 comps on the sales comparison grid.

Not sure if you're kidding.
A history of sufficient number of relevant data would be needed to see a trend.

The most expensive version I've seen of the 3.6 offerings is $100/month.

Eh, don't jump the gun. The only software I'm aware of that threw a number out was Andy, and he wrote $99 monthly plus additional fees for over 20. Jake has said they will price at a per use fee but haven't announced a number (one rumor is $75), if that's true Aivre is dead before it starts. Word on the street is a la mode in the short term will NOT charge anything over current software fees in an effort to retain market share, but we all know Cotality raises prices on everything it owns so I wouldn't bank on their fees not rising after the 3.6 drop dead date.

Of course this is all speculation, but who in the world believes the software providers will eat the massive costs of 3.6 development? IMO the days of relatively cheap software are over.

That's 75% of a hybrid appraisal fee LOL Add the technology fee and you're working for free.....

Yeah. Jake's strength is being backed by a tech company, and his weakness is he's backed by a tech company with no clue of the pricing dynamics in the appraisal world. They won't wait long for a return, so I expect whatever happens will happen quickly.

I’ve listened to enough business news and podcasts lately to know that private equity/hedge funds are all getting very nervous about the lack of profits. And that’s the case for all industries, appraising is just a tiny drop in the bucket. They’re saying there’s very few AI/tech companies that turn them profit.

There’s nobody going to pay per report for UAD 3.6. this is why the legacy software providers will be standing when the rest of them die off. They’ve stayed lean and mean.

Someone posted a matrix of the new offerings and their price points not too long back. Pretty sure it was on AF, but haven't seen it since. All of them had 'tiers' that maxed at $100/month. To your point, though, who knows if they'll still be at that point when it actually comes to market.

ONE appraiser won't be paying 1 CENT per report - or to the software providers - for the "UAD 3.6 Abomination". (Care to guess WHY? )
