Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research has suggested the possibility that professional appraisals or econometric estimates of collateral value may be indicative of credit risk. This paper examines the issue by estimating the probability of a mortgage default (defined both as 90 day delinquency and as a claim on mortgage insurance) as a function of the difference between sales price of a home and the estimated value of the home at the time of the purchase, produced by both an appraisal and by an Automated Valuation Model (AVM). Logistic regression is used to estimate the quarterly hazard of a serious delinquency, or claim, as a function of a host of standard control variables, and the percent difference between the sales price and the appraisal and/or AVM estimate. The data consist of a nationally representative random sample of about 5,000 FHA insured single family mortgages endorsed in Fiscal Years 2000, 2001, and 2002, observed through January 31, 2006, and a sample of about 1,000 FHA loans from the Atlanta MSA in the same time period. The records are augmented with the results from an AVM. The difference between the sale price and the appraisal or AVM estimate is found to significantly increase the probability of delinquency, and increase the probability of foreclosure, significantly so in the national sample. Also, transactions that are valued with higher precision have lower default propensities. Additionally, the differences are found to increase loss given default in the small subset of loans that had completed the property disposition process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We empirically examine the effect of appraisal quality on subsequent mortgage loan performance using data from the high volatility housing market of Alaska in the 1980s. We develop measures of appraisal quality by computing the residual between a hedonic estimate of house value using available information from other appraisals compared to actual ex ante appraised value. We then estimate proportional hazard models of mortgage default and find that several measures of appraisal quality, particularly appraised value in excess of hedonic estimates, are significantly related to default risk. Using valuations subsequent to loan default, we are also able to evaluate how well house price indices perform in terms of estimating current loan-to-value and offer some additional evidence on the controversy over the role of net equity versus trigger events as determinants of mortgage default. We also show that defaults are related to ex ante measures of housing market conditions, with additional implications for underwriting policies and the current industry trend away from traditional appraisal and toward automated valuation.
Download or read book Appraising Home Purchase Appraisals written by Paul S. Calem and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home appraisals are produced for millions of residential mortgage transactions each year, but appraised values are rarely below the purchase contract price. We argue that institutional features of home mortgage lending cause much of the information in appraisals to be lost: some 30 percent of recent appraisals are exactly at the home price (with less than 10 percent below it). We lay out a novel, basic theoretical framework to explain how lenders' and appraisers' incentives lead to information loss in appraisals (that is, appraisals set equal to the contract price). Such information loss is more common at loan-to-value boundaries where mortgage insurance rates increase and appears to be associated with a higher incidence of mortgage default, after controlling for pertinent borrower and loan-level characteristics. Appraisals do, in some cases, improve default risk measurement, but they are less informative than automated valuation models. An important benefit of appraisals reported below the contract price is that they help borrowers renegotiate prices with sellers.
Download or read book Mortgage Valuation Models written by Andrew Davidson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) are among the most complex of all financial instruments. Analysis of MBS requires blending empirical analysis of borrower behavior with the mathematical modeling of interest rates and home prices. Over the past 25 years, Andrew Davidson and Alexander Levin have been at the leading edge of MBS valuation and risk analysis. Mortgage Valuation Models: Embedded Options, Risk, and Uncertainty contains a detailed description of the sophisticated theories and advanced methods that the authors employ in real-world analyses of mortgage-backed securities. Issues such as complexity, borrower options, uncertainty, and model risk play a central role in the authors' approach to the valuation of MBS. The coverage spans the range of mortgage products from loans and TBA (to-be-announced) pass-through securities to subordinate tranches of subprime-mortgage securitizations. With reference to the classical CAPM and APT, the book advocates extending the concept of risk-neutrality to modeling home prices and borrower options, well beyond interest rates. It describes valuation methods for both agency and non-agency MBS including pricing new loans; approaches to prudent risk measurement, ranking, and decomposition; and methods for modeling prepayments and defaults of borrowers. The authors also reveal quantitative causes of the 2007-09 financial crisis and provide insight into the future of the U.S. housing finance system and mortgage modeling as this field continues to evolve. This book will serve as a foundation for the future development of models for mortgage-backed securities.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real estate valuations, which encompass appraisals and other estimation methods, have come under increased scrutiny in the wake of the recent mortgage crisis. The Dodd- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act mandated this study of the various valuation methods and the options available for selecting appraisers, as well as the Home Valuation Code of Conduct, which established appraiser independence requirements for mortgages sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This report examined: (1) the use of different valuation methods; (2) factors affecting consumer costs for appraisals and appraisal disclosure requirements; and (3) conflict-of-interest and appraiser selection policies and views on their impact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) maintains technical standards that reflect the official position of IAAO on various topics related to property tax administration, property tax policy, and valuation of property including mass appraisal and related disciplines. These standards are adopted by the IAAO Executive Board.IAAO assessment standards represent a consensus in the assessing profession. The objective of the IAAO standards is to provide a systematic means by which assessing officers can improve and standardize the operation of their offices. The IAAO standards are advisory in nature and the use of, or compliance with, these standards is purely voluntary. If any portion of these standards is found to be in conflict with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) or state laws, USPAP and state laws shall govern.IAAO technical standards are intended to guide property tax assessment officials, tax policy analysts, and administrators. Similar issues arise in any nation's property tax systems. IAAO standards can provide guidance internationally. However, certain sections of these standards apply primarily to the United States and Canada, where the power to tax property is assigned to state, provincial, or territorial governments.

Book excerpt: Appraisal bias has emerged as one of the most controversial issues in the mortgage industry. Several recent studies have documented systematic biases in traditional appraisals that result in lower values for Black and Hispanic homebuyers and neighborhoods (Rothwell and Perry, 2019). This in part explains the persistent wealth gap between Black and White households.In this paper, we examine the effects of historical redlining on automated home valuations (AVMS) and prices paid by homebuyers in predominately Black neighborhoods. Home valuation methods, i.e., appraisals, are critical to determining the market value of a home, the equity a mortgage borrower holds in a property, and the amount of default risk to which a lender or investor is exposed. Proponents of AVMs argue that they not only reduce biases and errors committed by human appraisers, while critics of AVMs caution that these algorithms simply reproduce the same biases that are embedded in human-driven decision systems. Based on an analysis of 2018 home sale transactions in Atlanta and Home Owners Loan Corporation (HOLC) 'redlining' maps, we find that both historic redlining and neighborhood race have a significant impact on current home values and prices paid by homebuyers. Specifically, holding other factors constant, home prices in historic redlined neighborhoods are associated with a 49.3% undervaluation. Similarly, all else equal, compared with majority-white neighborhoods, home prices in majority-Black neighborhoods are 64.2 % lower.Our analysis illustrates the role that historical racism plays in house prices and automated valuation model error within majority-Black communities and the extent to which these dynamics may contribute to the broader Black-white wealth gap.Based on these findings, we propose several steps that the federal government can take to address the disparities in house prices and automated valuation model error. These recommendations can help account for the effects of past discrimination and ensure that Black communities and their residents benefit from homeownership to the same degree as their white counterparts.

Download or read book Mass Appraisal Methods written by Tom Kauko and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-01-28 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural look atmass appraisal expertise for property valuation in different marketconditions, and offers some cutting- edge approaches. The editors establish an international platform and present thescientific debate as well as practical feasibility considerations.Heretic and orthodox valuation methods are assessed based onspecific criteria, partly technical and partly institutional.Methodological evaluation is approached using two types ofcriteria: operational concerns about how to determine propertyvalue differentials between spatial and functional units of realestate in a valid and reliable way (technical criteria); and thekind of market circumstances being operated in (institutionalcriteria). While technical criteria are relatively well-researched,there is little theoretically informed work on the connectionbetween country context and selection of property appraisalmethods. The book starts with an examination of current mass propertyappraisal practices, presenting case studies from widely differingmarkets - from the American and Dutch, where regression-basedmethods have been used successfully for some time; to the EasternEuropean and other emerging economies, where limitations have to becompensated by focusing on the modelling assumptions. The second part of the book looks at sophisticated modellingapproaches, some of which represent combinations of elements fromtwo or more techniques. Whatever the exact modelling approach, therequirements are always high for the quality of the data andsuitability of the method. In the final section, methods areevaluated and compared according to technical criteria and againstinstitutional contexts.With its exceptionally wide coverage ofvaluation issues, Mass Appraisal Methods: an internationalperspective for property valuers addresses property valuationproblems common to different countries and approaches applicable inboth developed and emerging economies.

This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Introduction to Mortgages & Mortgage Backed Securities, author Richard Green combines current practices in real estate capital markets with financial theory so readers can make intelligent business decisions. After a behavioral economics chapter on the nature of real estate decisions, he explores mortgage products, processes, derivatives, and international practices. By focusing on debt, his book presents a different view of the mortgage market than is commonly available, and his primer on fixed-income tools and concepts ensures that readers understand the rich content he covers. Including commercial and residential real estate, this book explains how the markets work, why they collapsed in 2008, and what countries are doing to protect themselves from future bubbles. Green's expertise illuminates both the fundamentals of mortgage analysis and the international paradigms of products, models, and regulatory environments. Written for buyers of real estate, not mortgage lenders Balances theory with increasingly complex practices of commercial and residential mortgage lending Emphasizes international practices, changes caused by the 2008-11 financial crisis, and the behavioral aspects of mortgage decision making
