The much anticipated HVCC is now in effect, assuming the failure of latch-ditch efforts to delay implementation by the NAMB (National Association of Mortgage Brokers) and NAR (National Association of Realtors.) All 1-4 family loans sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are subject to the HVCC.

So what is different now? There are quite a few things that haven’t changed, for instance the HVCC still does not apply to FHAand VA loans and it also does not apply to jumbo loans, loans over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac limits. Any such appraisal assignments that you undertake today can be performed exactly as one which you completed previously. Obviously any private assignments are completely unaffected, so those divorce appraisals, bankruptcy appraisals and tax grievance and tax appeal appraisals can be completed the same way you did them before.

These types of private appraisals are also going to be increasing for several reasons:

The stock market and economy of the country are interrelated. People think that if the stock market is showing a downtrend, then the economy also shows a downtrend. But there is no strong evidence to prove this. Rather the stock market show what investors believe is the state of a country’s economy. So realize that the index of the stock market is just a price which fluctuates according to the demand and supply theory.

The basic rule in economics states that if the supply increases, the price automatically decreases. For instance, if the manufacturing of the automobiles has increased, then the prices of automobiles are sure to decrease. When we apply the same theory to the stock market, as the company increases its stocks, the price of the stock should decline. And, if the stock prices decline, then the economy should fall. But this is not seen in the economy and added to this the new stocks are issued when the economy is growing.

This is mainly because when a company makes money from the stock market, it uses that money to grow its business. Hence, the economy grows.
