UAD Is Going Dynamic: A New Era for Appraisal Reporting

The appraisal industry is entering a new era. The Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD) 3.6 will replace static PDF forms with a dynamic, data-driven format beginning in 2025. This change means greater consistency, smarter analytics, and faster delivery—redefining how appraisal data powers lending decisions.

  • NAN’s technology integrations are built to support real-time data transfer.
  • We’re providing lenders with the tools, training, and confidence to transition seamlessly.
