🚨 VA APPRAISAL UPDATE🚨

The VA just made a BIG change to appraisal requirements — and it’s going to make deals smoother 👇

📄 Per VA Lender Handbook (Pamphlet 26-7, Change 46 – Feb 27, 2026):

✅ Homes built in 1978 or newer
➡️ Peeling or chipped paint is now considered cosmetic
➡️ Appraisers should NOT require repairs for minor issues

💡 Plus, VA removed several outdated property requirements entirely.

⏰ Effective for appraisals ordered AFTER May 1, 2026

🚀 What this means for you:
• Fewer appraisal conditions
• Faster closings
• Less back-and-forth on repairs
• Stronger VA offers in competitive situations

This is a HUGE win for VA buyers AND sellers 🙌

If you’ve ever had a VA deal delayed over minor repairs… this is the update you’ve been waiting for.
