Market Trends Analysis and Relocation Appraisal, Course #3096
Instructor: Stacey Anfindsen
Many appraisers learned their skills by filling out the URAR appraisal form under Fannie and Freddie guidelines. This type of education produces a skill set that focuses on historic data and does not produce true market analysis. Those who practice relocation appraisal are forced to examine other aspects of the residential market in addition to historic data. Unstable residential markets require a level of analysis and skill sets not necessary during increasing markets. The goal of this course is to reinforce the Appraisal Process, instruct attendees on different methods of market analysis and concepts/definitions within the relocation appraisal process. Two case studies are provided and the majority of class time is spent online gathering and analyzing data from various sources.
