Asteroom research highlights that rural & small towns are especially vulnerable to reducing appraiser numbers. The number of licensed appraisers actively supporting residential mortgage originations is now less than 30,000, down 25% in the past 5 years. UAD 3.6 mandate could result in more appraisers retiring from the profession. - The number of appraisers needed to complete MSA vs. rural assignments is significantly different. - In MSAs lenders can successfully complete assignments on-time with less appraisers - an average of 1 appraiser per 10 appraisal orders. - In rural areas this ratio falls to 1 appraiser per 2 orders. - The loss of 1 appraiser in a rural or small town market can have outsize impact on the distance traveled, and corresponding turn time and fees. Lenders can avoid mortgage pipeline disruption and delayed closings by implementing UAD 3.6 hybrid appraisals today. Working with select appraisers in rural and adjacent markets is an immediate way to mitigate risk. Appraisers completing these assignments can build market knowledge and competence in rural areas and small towns. Asteroom is the leading independent provider of Uniform Property Data (UPD) reports for GSE inspection based waivers and hybrid appraisals. Read full article at https://lnkd.in/gMeANgVV #asteroom
