The National Association of Realtors (NAR) sent a response to the joint banking and finance regulators on their proposed joint rule to implement the statute on automated valuation models (AVMs) regulation mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. In the response, NAR largely agrees with the flexible approach from the regulators, but recommends the regulators:

  • provide clear guidance for AVM practitioners
  • consider variations in data quality used by AVMs and how to raise the bar across the market
  • apply the rules to the government-sponsored enterprise (GSEs)
  • provide more legal clarity around behavior that constitutes bias and should be removed from AVMs
  • provide consumers with AVM estimates used in their origination transactions
