As we continue our series on the upcoming appraisal changes, let's talk about something that matters to both buyers and sellers, how a property's condition and features are documented.

Under the new UAD 3.6 appraisal reporting system, appraisers will use more standardized reporting requirements, including updated guidelines for photographs and property details.

📸 What does this mean for homeowners?

✅ Property Condition: Appraisers will document the condition of the home, including visible issues that may affect its value.

✅ Improvements and Updates: Renovations, upgrades, and significant improvements should be accurately identified and described.

✅ Unique Property Features: Shops, outbuildings, acreage, and other characteristics that make a property distinctive deserve careful documentation.

✅ Photographs: Updated appraisal guidelines establish which photographs are required, conditionally required, or optional, helping provide a more complete picture of the property.

Will this change your home's value?

Not necessarily! UAD 3.6 changes how property information is collected and reported. It does not automatically increase or decrease property values.

For sellers, the takeaway is simple: Accurate property information matters. Having a list of improvements, updates, and unique features available can help ensure the appraiser has the information needed to evaluate your property.

At Montana Realty Partners, we're following these changes closely to help our buyers and sellers understand what to expect.

📅 Coming Next: How will UAD 3.6 affect properties with acreage, shops, barns, and other features common in Northwest Montana?

10/06/2026

🏡 UAD 3.6, What Is Actually Changing?

If you have bought or sold a home before, you are probably familiar with the traditional appraisal report, lots of boxes, abbreviations, condition ratings, and information squeezed into a standardized form.

That is one of the biggest things UAD 3.6 is changing.

The new appraisal system is designed to collect more detailed and standardized information about a property, rather than relying as heavily on short descriptions and broad categories.

Appraisers will be able to provide more specific information about things such as:

• Property condition
• Quality and construction
• Interior and exterior features
• Site characteristics
• Improvements and updates
• Functional issues
• Unique property features

Why does that matter?

Because two homes can look similar on paper and still be very different in the real world.

The goal of UAD 3.6 is to give lenders and other users of the appraisal a clearer picture of the actual property being evaluated.

For buyers and sellers, that means the details of your home may become even more important during the appraisal process.

Congrats to our buyers for going on contract for this adorable investment property in Libby, MT! Watch for it to come available for rent in the near future!

UAD 3.6 is not a Montana specific change. It is part of a nationwide appraisal modernization effort being implemented by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Beginning November 2, 2026, new appraisal reports submitted through the Uniform Collateral Data Portal for loans sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac will be required to use UAD 3.6.

So, what does that mean for us here in Montana?

It means many residential appraisals connected to conventional financing will begin using a much more detailed and structured reporting system.

And that could be particularly important in Northwest Montana.

Our properties do not always fit neatly into a standard suburban box. We frequently deal with:

🏔️ Large and unusual acreage
🏡 Rural homes and properties
🚜 Shops, barns and multiple outbuildings
🛏️ Guest quarters and additional living spaces
💧 Private wells and septic systems
🛤️ Private roads and easements
🌲 Properties adjoining public land
🏠 Manufactured homes and unique construction

UAD 3.6 gives appraisers a more flexible way to document these property characteristics instead of trying to squeeze every home into the same traditional appraisal form.

For buyers and sellers, this does not mean the way a property’s market value is determined suddenly changes.

It does mean the way the property is documented and reported is changing significantly.

Next up, I’ll talk about one of the biggest issues for our market, how UAD 3.6 handles acreage and rural properties.

If you are buying or selling a home in the next year, you may start hearing the term UAD 3.6 during the appraisal process.

So, what does it actually mean?

UAD stands for Uniform Appraisal Dataset. It is the standardized system used to organize and report property information in appraisals that are delivered to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

UAD 3.6 is a major update to that system.

Instead of relying on the familiar collection of appraisal forms that have been used for years, the industry is moving toward a new, more dynamic Uniform Residential Appraisal Report, or URAR.

The new report is designed to collect more detailed and structured information about a property, while adapting the appraisal report to the characteristics of the property being evaluated.

That matters here in Montana.

Our properties do not always fit neatly into a standard box. We have homes on acreage, wells and septic systems, shops and outbuildings, manufactured homes, unique construction, recreational land, and properties where the site itself can be a significant part of the value.

As UAD 3.6 becomes the new standard, both real estate professionals and property owners should understand what information appraisers may be documenting and why.

📅 Important date: Beginning November 2, 2026, UAD 3.6 will be required for new appraisal reports submitted to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Over the next several posts, I will break down what is changing and, more importantly, what these changes may mean for buyers and sellers in Northwest Montana.

Next up: What information will the new appraisal collect that you may not have seen before?
