📄 UAD 3.6 Policy & Resource Center

 

The Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD) 3.6 represents the most significant change to residential appraisal reporting in over a decade. This update introduces a dynamic, data-driven report format designed to enhance consistency, accuracy, and efficiency in the valuation process.

 

Key Changes Appraisers Should Note:

 

  • Dynamic Reporting: Replaces static forms (like the 1004) with a single, flexible report that only displays fields relevant to the specific property and assignment.

  • Enhanced Data Standardization: Requires more granular and standardized details for property characteristics, condition, and quality.

  • Data Structure: The underlying data is transitioning to the MISMO v3.6 XML standard, which supports advanced data analysis and quality control.

  • New Reports: The legacy 1004D is replaced by two separate reports: the Restricted Appraisal Update Report and the Completion Report.

  • Comparable Inspection: Fannie Mae has retired the requirement to inspect comparable sales from the street, allowing appraisers discretion in sourcing required comparable photos.
