Supporting Adjustments and Reporting the Sales Comparison Approach in the New URAR
The new Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR) challenges appraisers to deliver a report in a confident manner to clients with a credible analysis that meets the minimum reporting requirements of the Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs). The new URAR requires that support for adjustments be included directly in the appraisal report, so residential practitioners need to understand the expectations of the GSEs and underwriters around these topics.
Supporting Adjustments and Reporting the Sales Comparison Approach in the New URAR is a three-hour program that focuses on an effective manner of developing and supporting the sales comparison approach section of the new URAR. Case studies will represent real-world residential appraisal valuation problems and the multiple qualitative and quantitative ways that each of the major adjustments in a residential sales grid can be supported. Since the applicable and appropriate techniques for any specific adjustment usually produce some variation in the indicated contributory value, the art and science of reconciliation will also be emphasized through repeated application. The program will be valuable for residential appraisers to strengthen their proficiency in both the sales comparison approach and in supporting the adjustments used in the sales grid. The program will also be valuable for reviewers of residential reports.
