New Industry Killer – 90% of residential transactions will no longer need an appraisal

You may have heard that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation recently announced a proposal to increase the threshold above which an appraisal is not required from the current $250,000 to $400,000 for residential mortgage transactions. Since Congress enacted Title XI of FIRREA in 1989 the Federal Financial Institution Regulatory Agencies have systematically carved out exemptions for the requirement of appraisals to the point that, with the current proposal, over 90 percent of residential mortgage transactions will not need an appraisal.  This is a major concern to all of us in the appraisal profession.
