Home Inspection, Appraisal & Disclosure Rule Watch

Track home inspection, appraisal and disclosure rules in the United States. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: seller disclosure law and form changes by state including flood, fire, climate risk, death, crime, mold and HOA disclosures; home inspector licensing, standards of practice and liability changes by state; inspection waiver and pre-inspection rule changes; appraisal rule changes at Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA and VA including reconsideration of value, bias rules, automated valuations and appraisal waiver programs; appraiser licensing and enforcement actions; radon, sewer scope, pest, well, septic and specialty inspection rule changes; contingency and repair negotiation form changes by state associations; enforcement actions against inspectors and appraisers; and court rulings on post-closing defects and misrepresentation. Prefer state legislatures and licensing boards, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, VA, state real estate associations, court documents and established real estate reporting; ignore inspector and agent marketing, and never give individual legal advice. Put the state, agency or rule first in the title and state what a buyer or seller can demand. Use high severity for a disclosure law taking effect within 90 days, an appraisal rule change at Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, or a ruling expanding buyer remedies. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
