June Market Update

04 Jun June Market Update

What a wild 2021 it has been! I apologize for the lack of blogs the last few months. It’s a good problem, but all my focus has been on keeping up with work demand!

I wanted to however give a quick update. It has been business as usual completing both lender and private appraisals. With private work I have been forced to stagger multiple weeks out to keep up with lender demand. While lender demand gets all the headlines, I am continuing to maintain private work demand.

Market Overview:

As far as the market goes, we all know the story. Low inventory, excess buyer demand, multiple bids above list price, waived appraisals (at times!). I imagine it’s not easy for many buyers losing offer after offer. I’ve heard some buyers deciding to take a breather and wait. Maybe that is a good idea. The one thing I know is every cycle changes. We don’t know exactly when but it does.

Lenders are increasing fees and offering rush fees. Lenders have recognized demand and are regularly quoting higher fees to appraisers. This has likely increased the assignment acceptance by an appraiser vs. unassigned orders for weeks. I will always prioritize my primary lender clients, but when solicited by other lenders, I have noticed higher fee quotes at times.

I’m always available for questions or discussion about the market. Feel free to reach out.
