The Appraisal Update - Episode 206 | UAD 3.6: Key Changes and Tools You Need to Know

In this episode, Bryan dives into some of the most important updates in UAD 3.6 and what they mean for appraisers in the field. He highlights where to find the latest official guidance directly from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and reminds appraisers that these resources are publicly available and well worth a deep dive.

Bryan spotlights a major change from Fannie Mae’s update — the retirement of the long-standing requirement for appraisers to drive by the comparable sales. He walks through the Fannie Mae website, showing exactly how to download the Appendix F-1 URAR Reference Guide and how to search within it to find what you need fast.

Plus, he shares a handy resource for checking broadband availability at a property — another valuable tool to add to your appraisal workflow.
