Home Prices Surge to Their Highest Point in 10 Years

IRVINE, Calif. – April 27, 2017 — ATTOM Data Solutions, curator of the nation’s largest multi-sourced property database, today released its Q1 2017 U.S. Home Sales Report, which shows that homeowners who sold in the first quarter realized an average price gain of $44,000 since purchase, representing an average 24 percent return on the purchase price — the highest average price gain for home sellers in terms of both dollars and percent returns since Q3 2007.

Meanwhile the report also shows that homeowners who sold in the first quarter had owned an average of 7.97 years, down slightly from a record-high average homeownership tenure of 8.00 years in Q4 2016 but still up from 7.68 years in Q1 2016.

Mortgage Fraud Risk Increases Nationwide

Mortgage fraud risk is up across the country, according to the CoreLogic National Mortgage Application Fraud Risk Index (FRI) for Q1 2017. The FRI is a measure of loan-application level fraud risk in the mortgage industry, based on residential mortgage loan applications processed by CoreLogic Loan Safe Fraud Manager.

The index jumped 8 percent in Q1, up to 132 from 113 a year ago and 122 last quarter. CoreLogic notes that although this is the highest level for the Index since Q3 2010, at that time post-crisis controls against mortgage application fraud were tight. The CoreLogic Mortgage Fraud Consortium grew from 50 percent to 60 percent of application s between Q4 2016 and Q1 2017. …continue reading the rest of this post: Mortgage Fraud Risk Increases Nationwide

Tennessee Governor Signs Law Protecting Appraisers

Tennessee Governor Signs Law Protecting Appraisers

On April 28, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam signed into law HB 376 that will establish a new statute of limitations regarding civil lawsuits and disciplinary actions against real estate appraisers.

As enacted, any action to recover damages against a real estate appraiser must be brought within one year from the discovery of the act of omission giving rise to the action. However, in no event can an action be brought more than five years after the date the appraisal was performed.

Additionally, the Tennessee Real Estate Appraiser Commission cannot consider a complaint for a disciplinary acting that relates to an appraisal that was completed more than three years before the complaint was submitted. The new law will take effect July 1, and will apply to appraisals performed after that date. …continue reading the rest of this post: Tennessee Governor Signs Law Protecting Appraisers

AI Lobbies to Modernize Appraisal Regulatory Process

AI Lobbies to Modernize Appraisal Regulatory Process

More than 100 Appraisal Institute professionals will go to Capitol Hill May 4 to urge congressional support for the modernization of the appraisal regulatory process.

Attendees of AI’s annual Leadership Development and Advisory Council conference, held May 3-5 in Washington, will lobby lawmakers to take legislative action to address appraisal modernization and the regulatory burdens that appraisers face.

The Appraisal Institute believes that legislation is vital because the ranks of real estate appraisers have significantly declined in recent years, and AI research projects a further decline in the appraiser population over the next five to 10 years.

Key issues the Appraisal Institute wants to see addressed: …continue reading the rest of this post: AI Lobbies to Modernize Appraisal Regulatory Process
