2026 Legislative Update (Live/Online) #111976-2026 Legislative Update Part 4

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript explains major 2026 appraisal changes: the URAR and Uniform Appraisal Data Set are replacing static appraisal forms with dynamic, data-driven reports. Appraisers will need detailed, standardized property data, and agents should provide complete information up front to avoid delays. Appraisals may take longer, involve more questions, and create transitional confusion. The speaker also notes a court decision pausing FinCEN residential transfer reporting, a utility scam warning, insurance restrictions on drone imagery, insurance toolkit resources, and upcoming VA appraisal fee changes. The overall message: stay proactive, detailed, and updated to support smoother transactions.
