Can you say all data owned by CORELOGIC with NO reliable analytics and of course that would include their dinosaur Marshall & Swift! CLA adjustments are not a substitute to FMV 2024 based on sales; and not a reliable update because it is simply a multiplier time the original bogus CAMA system.

Another false flag Baggins! Most assessments country wide are tanking at 50% – the assessment community will guess using a fantasy cost approach and it will take them 2-3 years! The lending community is just PO that they can no longer use an assessment in place of a proper appraisal. They are also using Zillow now, but they almost went bankrupt with their AVM requiring a complete reevaluation of traditional software development.

In reply to Dave. Not sure what you’re referring to with a false flag. The content above, everything after the link is simply copied language from the CFPB’s own avm documentation. / In my state, assessors state wide did adjust up to match higher market values. Peoples taxes and insurance costs increased substantially with more to come. [link] County assessment data has never been a reliable basis to substitute live human appraiser service.

In reply to Dave. What gets me thinking is the fundamental modeling shifts. Assessment systems are subject to oversight by the citizens. Imagine our entire countries assessment systems being administered by one set of private corporations. Nobody voted for a centralized model of value control which has the potential to reshape price and value benchmarks throughout the entire country.
