CHICAGO (April 2, 2019) — (RealEstateRama) — Appraisers working in the residential real estate sector say national trends broadly apply to their markets, but they note that since each region essentially is local, they need to adapt to ever-changing area dynamics, according to an article in Valuation magazine’s first quarter 2019 issue.
Valuation magazine is a quarterly publication of the Appraisal Institute, the nation’s largest professional association of real estate appraisers.
The newest issue’s cover story, “Residential Realties,” addresses how appraisers working in the residential real estate sector must keep up with national trends, such as slowing home price growth, tight housing inventories and the possibility of a market correction – in addition to local nuances and other complexities – in a constantly evolving environment.
Read “Residential Realities” in Valuation magazine’s first quarter 2019 issue.
Also in this issue:

Read more to see if appraisers see opportunities in consolidation or if they think small and lean is the formula for success.
“Strong Vital Signs” discusses how health care is not only one of the hottest real estate sectors right now, but – in terms of valuation – also one of the most complex. Read more to learn what societal changes, legislative requirements and regulatory risks are challenging appraisers who work in this sector.
