Would you trust an automated valuation model over a traditional professional appraisal for your loan?
Clear Capital has launched significant updates to its automated Rental AVM model, which now provides market rent estimates in under one second for 105 million U.S. properties. This automated tool aims to streamline property evaluation by offering an alternative to traditional manual rent schedules.
Why it matters
Traditional appraisals can take up to five days to complete, and manual rent analysis often adds significant time and cost to lending processes. By shifting to automated estimation, the industry aims to reduce these delays and improve efficiency for property owners and lenders.
The updated model now spans 105 million properties nationwide, marking a 10 percent increase in total coverage. This tool provides market rent estimates in less than one second, serving as an alternative to the standard Form 1007 rent schedules.
