Appraisal Reports Are Changing November 2: What Agents Should Know

A change to residential appraisal reporting is approaching. Beginning November 2, 2026, new appraisal reports submitted for loans involving Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac must use UAD 3.6, a format that calls for more detailed property information. Some lenders are already ordering reports in the new format, so you may encounter it before the deadline.

CCAR is planning a training seminar on October 20 to help agents understand the new appraisal reporting format and the practical steps they can take now. Registration details will be announced very soon.

Read more for a helpful graph on the changes and their impact on REALTORS® and homeowners.

ETHICS CORNER:

From Listing Presentation to Post-Closing: Let the Code Be Your Guide

Last week we looked at the buyer’s agent’s perspective and how the Code of Ethics can become a practical checklist from first conversation to closing. Let’s do the same now for Listing Agents.

For listing agents, the transaction begins long before the sign goes in the yard.

There is the first conversation with the seller, the listing presentation, the agreement, marketing decisions, negotiations, inspections, closing—and the responsibilities that continue after the transaction is complete.

NAR’s “The Code of Ethics is Good Business” resource organizes the relevant Standards of Practice around each of these stages, making the Code easier to apply to the work listing agents are actually doing every day.

The listing-agent checklist begins with Pre-Listing. That’s an important reminder: ethical practice doesn’t begin when you have a signed listing agreement. The professional relationship and the decisions surrounding it can raise ethical considerations from the…

Make Homeownership Part of the
Election Conversation

The opportunity to own a home remains central to California’s future. It helps families build stability, supports local economies, and gives communities a stronger foundation for long-term success. Through C.A.R.’s Vote Homeownership campaign, Californians are being encouraged to have conversations with candidates about where they stand on policies that can make homeownership more attainable.

Sharing “Vote Homeownership” information gives your clients useful context about the policies and decisions that affect their ability to buy, sell, or remain in a home. It helps them better understand issues such as housing supply, affordability, first-time buyer support, and community stability, while giving them practical questions to ask candidates during election season. By connecting these issues to their own housing goals, REALTORS® can help clients feel more informed, engaged, and prepared to advocate for solutions that expand homeownership opportunities.

ETHICS CORNER:

First Conversation to Closing: An Ethical Roadmap for Buyer Agents

Two weeks ago, we introduced the Code of Ethics re-organized according to the way a typical transaction actually unfolds, highlighting relevant ethical duties based on where you are in the transaction.

This week, we’ll take a closer look at how this resource can help buyer agents use the Code as a practical guide from the first conversation with a prospective client through the closing table.

A buyer’s real estate journey can move quickly. One conversation leads to a buyer agreement. Then come showings, questions, offers, negotiations, inspections, financing and, eventually, closing. At every stage, different professional responsibilities come into focus.

That’s why NAR’s “The Code of Ethics is Good Business” resource is worth adding to your everyday toolkit. Rather than organizing the Code solely by its 17 Articles, NAR has arranged the relevant Standards of Practice according to the stages of a typical transaction.

For buyer agents, the roadmap begins before the showing…

Fed Rate Hike: What It Could Mean
for Your Buyers and Homeowners

The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point in September, bringing the target range to 3.75%–4% as it works to bring inflation down.

For REALTORS®, an important distinction to share with clients is that a Fed rate increase does not automatically mean the same increase in mortgage rates. As CNBC explains, fixed-rate mortgages tend to follow the 10-year Treasury yield and broader bond-market conditions rather than the Fed’s benchmark directly. However, inflation pressures could push rates higher on new home loans. Even a small change can matter to a buyer’s budget. CNBC cites an example in which a quarter-point increase in mortgage rates could add approximately $65 per month to a roughly $389,000 mortgage.

Homeowners with existing fixed-rate mortgages will keep their current interest rates, while borrowers with adjustable-rate mortgages could face higher costs when their rates reset. Home equity lines of credit, which typically carry variable rates, may also become more expensive.

For client conversations, the focus is on understanding how the type of loan—and changes in borrowing costs—can affect affordability.

C.A.R. Market Minute: Inflation Keeps Rates in Focus

Inflation and interest rates continue to play a major role in the housing market, with mortgage rates recently moving higher and adding to affordability challenges for buyers. New home sales declined in July, while the rental market showed signs of stabilizing and foreclosure activity remained well below historical levels.

Looking ahead, the direction of the housing market will depend heavily on inflation trends, Federal Reserve policy, and whether borrowing costs begin to ease. C.A.R.’s latest Market Minute breaks down these key economic indicators and what they could mean for real estate in the months ahead.
