The Guide Note is particularly concerned with challenges faced by appraisers when market conditions are rapidly changing, as demonstrated by recent boom and bust cycles of the U.S. housing market. In slower markets like today’s, the Guide Note recognizes that a lack of market data is challenging to appraisers attempting to make market value adjustments.

FNC’s latest Residential Price Index™ (RPI) indicates that U.S. residential property values are up for the second month in April -- evidence that home prices are strengthening as rising demand and limited inventory continue to characterize many U.S. markets. Nationwide, April home prices – based on recorded sales transactions in the 100 largest metropolitan areas – rose 0.6% from the previous month.
