ALEXANDRIA, Va. –The comment period to submit comments on proposed interagency guidance addressing reconsiderations of value (ROV) for residential real estate transactions closes today.
“The proposed guidance advises on policies that financial institutions may implement to allow consumers to provide financial institutions with information that may not have been considered during an appraisal or if deficiencies are identified in the original appraisal,” the agency stated, explaining that ROVs are requests from a financial institution to an appraiser or other preparer of a valuation report to reassess the value of residential real estate. An ROV may be warranted if a consumer provides information to a financial institution about potential deficiencies or other information that may affect the estimated value, NCUA said.
“The proposed guidance shows how ROVs intersect with appraisal independence requirements and compliance with applicable laws and regulations,” NCUA continued. “The proposed guidance describes how financial institutions may create or enhance their existing ROV processes while remaining consistent with safety and soundness standards, complying with applicable laws and regulations, preserving appraiser independence, and remaining responsive to consumers. Additionally, the proposed guidance would describe the risks of deficient residential real estate valuations and how financial institutions may incorporate ROV processes into established risk management functions.”
The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on July 21, 2023, and has a 60-day comment period.
