Time Out? pt 13
Market conditions, time adjustments. The fourth “strategy” noted in the FHFA Working Paper 24-07, we call the “Time Out” strategy. Editor’s Note: Read the entire series HERE. Simply put, the appraiser avoids the issue cleanly, by just ignoring the ‘box’ where the time adjustment should go. Easy. The FHFA report states: “The most common method […]
Adjust for Time Again?
In this post, Adjust for Time, Part 12, (read the whole series here) the FHFA Working Paper 24-07 infers a third “common strategy” for time adjustments. We will call this the plot–regress method. In this strategy “MLS data on individual sales can be retrieved, and the appraiser can regress sales price on a time trend […]
Adjust for Time?
We now consider the second “time adjustments” method noted in the FHFA paper (24-07). It, too, is noted as being “commonly” used in appraisals. The first method we reviewed was “paired sales”. Now we look at the second method, called “grouped data.” This “related technique, grouped data analysis, involves grouping data by an independent variable […]
What Time is It? pt 10
Time adjustments are now required by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Time adjustments were previously required “when necessary.” Now a “market conditions” adjustment is required on every appraisal. This means that even if personal judgment says the subject market is “stable,” an analysis must be performed to arrive at the zero adjustment conclusion. An FHFA (Federal Housing Finance […]
What Time is It? Part 9
It is clear: market analysis and time adjustments are more important than ever, and the appraisal and review requirements are critical to responsible valuation, compliance, and risk management. Time adjustments and market analysis was the topic presented in our TYN2K Webinar January 15, 2025. Fannie Mae’s Lyle Radke was our presenter, followed by a two-hour […]
What Time Is It Pt 8
Time “adjustment” is not really about time (or so they say). It’s about changed market conditions since the time of the comparable sale. This wording works fine for legacy appraisal practices. The modern, data-centric, data science approach is clear that the market conditions are measured at points in time (or a continuum of time). Thus, […]
What Time Is It? Pt 8
Is time an adjustment? What is “acceptable” appraisal practice? The new GSE (FannieMae, FreddieMac) guidelines still require adjustments for market conditions. This is part 8 of our series on GSE Guidelines. Read the series here. Market conditions are different at different points in time. Duh! Time adjustments have always been required. Seldom enforced. Seldom done. […]
Re-Solve the Resolution?
My New Year’s resolution may work, or it may not. How do I create a high probability I will be successful? There is a science to this. There are issues of personal psychology. And there are some spiritual principles that work. Finally, physical action directly causes results. And how about willpower? How do I resolve […]
Is Ethics a Spiritual Principle?
Ethics is a discipline about what is morally good or right. In this time of much religious celebration, we note that most religions are based on specific spiritual principles. These are behaviors that most recognize as being healthy for the individual and for society. Ethics easily touches other areas of study, including anthropology, biology, economics, […]
Time Insanity?
Fun insanity — time adjustment requirements made simple. A concise market conditions guide and summary. Editor’s Note: This is part 7 of a new series on Time. Get caught up here. Let’s outline the new GSE requirements: Time “adjustments” will be a required field, even if exactly zero! (Zero is a number.) Time-series analysis is […]
Time-series or Garbage?
Time-series adjustments and market conditions are required by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Part Six on GSE Guidelines. Read the series here. A recent FHFA research paper revealed that as few as 10% of appraisals had been even attempting a time adjustment, although in some markets, where the value was not “high enough,” the time […]
Solve Bias with Market Analysis?
First, note that the time adjustment is core to market analysis. It is not about “comparing comps.” It quantifies two things. The change in: 1) the value of the dollar and, 2) market segment price levels. This is part 5 on our series on GSE Guidelines. Read them all here. Reference: FHFA Working Paper 24-07: […]
Critical Thinking and Thanks Giving?
How do we connect Thanks Giving with Critical Thinking? First, we can recognize gratitude (giving thanks) as a neuro-spiritual tool – with benefits. And we can recognize critical thinking as a tool towards good judgments and action. So how do we connect these seemingly detached (thanks and thinking) ideas? Critical thinking is a necessary part […]
A GSE vs USPAP Conflict?
Recent GSE (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) guidelines for appraisers and lenders make some assumptions. In particular we can use, for example, the requirements for market analysis and time adjustments. This is part 4 on our series on GSE Guidelines. Read the series here. USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Practice) Rule 1-4 states that an […]
Can Gen AI Solve the Adjustment Support Paradigm?
Gen AI is an emerging technology that has gone viral. But what actually is AI. The following was taken from a course offered by Coursera “AI Essentials”. “To begin this AI journey, let’s start by examining what the term artificial intelligence really means. In this context, intelligence refers to the human ability to perform cognitive tasks. […]
