Where this applies
United States. Six agencies adopted a final rule requiring institutions that use automated valuation models to value a consumer's principal dwelling in credit decisions or securitisation to adopt policies, practices, procedures and controls to meet quality control standards. The rule does not cover appraisers' use of such models, because an appraiser must make a valuation conclusion that is supportable independently and does not rely on an automated valuation model. It governs how models are used, not how often.
What this means
US rules accept that lenders value homes with models, but require them to control those models, and keep appraisers' conclusions independent of them.
What it does not yet show
A rule on quality controls; it does not measure model accuracy or use.
