📏🏡 Square footage is about more than just a number! 👀✨

With the new UAD 3.6 appraisal process taking effect in November, how appraisers measure, categorize, and report a home's square footage is under closer scrutiny. 🔍📋

The goal? Greater consistency and more detailed information about a property's finished areas. 🏠📐 Because understanding what counts matters just as much as knowing the total!

🏡 How big is a house, really? Under UAD 3.6, the answer gets a lot more detailed. 📏✨

In Part 3 of our UAD 3.6 series, we’re talking square footage. The big takeaway: it’s not necessarily about a different amount of space. It’s about how a home’s existing space is measured, labeled and reported, so the information is more consistent from report to report. ✅

A few highlights:
• “Gross Living Area” is being retired in favor of “above-grade finished area” 🏠➡️📐
• Finished space above and below grade is reported separately 🔼🔽
• Applicable single-family homes are measured using the American National Standards Institute’s Z765-2021 standard 🇺🇸📏
• Finished, unfinished, nonstandard and noncontinuous areas can be told apart 🧩
• Square footage and room counts need to be reported consistently across comparable homes 📊🔁

🏠🔍 Your home’s condition is about to get a closer look!

As part of the new UAD 3.6 appraisal process, appraisers will provide more detailed information about individual areas and components of a home—including kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and more. 🛁🍳🪵

Instead of simply saying something is “updated,” the new process provides more specific information about its condition. That granular detail can help support the appraiser’s overall assessment of the property. 📋✨

📅 UAD 3.6 takes effect this November.

🏔️ Every challenge has a summit. Keep climbing.

After participating in a 29029 event inspired by the elevation of Mount Everest, our CEO's Shane Miller and Juan Rodas, were reminded that perseverance matters. 💪

The same determination we bring to a mountain can help us overcome the challenges we face every day—personally and professionally.

Stay disciplined. Stay focused. Keep moving forward. And remember… you’ll come out better in the end. 🙌

🏡🔍 Every room tells a story — and the new appraisal process is taking a closer look! 👀✨

Starting in November 2026, UAD 3.6 brings a more detailed, property-specific approach to appraisal reporting. One of the changes? 🏠➡️ Room-by-room condition reporting.

Instead of looking at the home only as a whole, the new process provides more detailed information about the condition of individual areas throughout the property. 🛏️🛁🍳🛋️

That means:
✨ More specific observations
🔎 Greater detail about individual rooms
📋 A clearer picture of the property's overall condition
🏡 Less reliance on one-size-fits-all descriptions

The result? A more complete picture of the home — from room to room. 📸🏠

Change is coming, and we're breaking it down one aspect at a time! 🙌
