๐ก REALTORS: The appraisal report is changing. Hereโs what belongs in your transaction playbook.
UAD 3.6 introduces a redesigned appraisal report that adjusts based on the property type, inspection, and assignment.
๐
November 2, 2026 is the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac mandate for new appraisal submissions. Temporary lender exceptions are available, so confirm the requirements for your deal.
Three questions to ask your lender:
โ
Which appraisal format applies to this loan program?
โ
If we change programs or lenders, can the existing appraisal be accepted?
โ
Could that change require additional work, cost, or time?
A financing backup plan should account for the appraisal, too.
Before you pivot, understand what that move means for your buyerโs budget and closing calendar.
Save this for your next buyer consultation and share it with your transaction partner.
