Lenders are adjusting their offerings for second-lien products in response to growing consumer demand, yet the traditional valuation method—full appraisals—often fails to meet today's needs. While full appraisals are reliable, they can add unnecessary costs and delays, especially for smaller loans like HELOCs. Automated valuation models (AVMs) have evolved, incorporating advanced data analytics and machine learning to enhance speed and accuracy. They provide decision-grade outputs with confidence scores that frequently align with traditional appraisals, making them a viable alternative for lenders seeking efficiency.
Lenders are stepping up with a broader menu of second-lien products, but the valuation process often relies on outdated traditional full appraisals, creating friction.
Automated valuation models (AVMs) have significantly improved; they now leverage real-time data and machine learning, offering confidence scores that closely match traditional appraisals.
