This change aims to enhance data consistency and quality across appraisal submissions, thus ensuring more reliable valuations in a dynamic housing market. Industry stakeholders, including lenders and appraisers, are advised to prepare for the transition by familiarizing themselves with the new guidelines and adjusting their processes accordingly.
