The appraisal report system is undergoing significant changes, with the introduction of a redesigned Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR). This new report combines various forms into a single, consolidated layout that prioritizes discrete data responses over free-form text. It aims to enhance readability, improve data integrity, and streamline the review and underwriting processes. With these changes, the appraisal process is expected to be more efficient, benefiting lenders, appraisers, and consumers through better organization and access to data analytics. The revamp has been in development since 2018 and indicates a shift towards modernized appraisal practices.
The GSEs are implementing a redesigned Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR) that consolidates forms into a single, data-driven layout. This streamlines conventional lending appraisal forms into one consistent standardized report.
The new URAR is designed to enhance data integrity and usability, improving readability and including features like a synopsis of key appraisal information at the start of the report.
Changes to the appraisal process, including the new UAD version 3.6, replace free-form text with discrete data responses, improving the review and underwriting processes, and increasing overall efficiency.
The retirement of outdated templates will allow for better results for lenders, appraisers, and consumers, making modern data analytics more accessible and accurately implemented.
