Lenders Overlook Trump's Appraisal Rollback, Prioritize Homeowner Fairness

Lenders Overlook Trump's Appraisal Rollback, Prioritize Homeowner Fairness

The US government made changes to how home values are checked.

The old rules made it easier for people to question how much their home is worth, especially if they felt the value was unfair.

Some big banks aren't changing their rules.

Appraisals are important because they affect how much money people can borrow to buy a home, and some groups of people may be unfairly affected by them.

A new bill wants to make sure lenders have to let homeowners question their appraisal results, and share more information with the public.
