Thursday, November 2, 2023

The study is the first of its kind using newly released, appraisal-level data from the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (FHFA) Uniform Appraisal Dataset Appraisal-Level Public Use File and confirms earlier AEI research , which had reached a similar conclusion.

Key Points: 
  • The study is the first of its kind using newly released, appraisal-level data from the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (FHFA) Uniform Appraisal Dataset Appraisal-Level Public Use File and confirms earlier AEI research , which had reached a similar conclusion.
  • This suggests that studies by FHFA , Brookings , or Freddie Mac with their singular focus on appraiser racial bias have misdiagnosed the issue.
  • To facilitate further analysis, the AEI Housing Center urges FHFA to expand its appraisal-level dataset to include first-time home buyer status, seller concessions, or loan-to-value ratio.
  • To better measure and document appraiser racial bias, the study also urges FHFA, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac to review every appraiser on an individual basis for racial bias and deliberate inaccuracies with input from researchers.
