Some lenders will begin using the new UAD as early as September 2025\, and use of UAD 3.6 is required for all Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans in November of 2026. What are the new datapoints appraisers will need to complete appraisals? And how can agents supply this information to appraisers to ease the transition? \nKen DeFeo\, Senior Manager\, Collateral Policy and Strategy\, Fannie Mae\, and Sean Murphy\, Credit Policy Risk Analytics Manager\, Freddie Mac will join us to explain why the UAD is being updated\, provide examples of data required and what the new reporting look will look like and give you resources to get prepared.
