Appraisals for Higher-Priced Mortgage Loans Exemption Threshold: 2025 increase to $33,500

Loan impactAll programsAppraisalProperty eligibilityUnderwritingCompliance

Applies to: Higher-priced mortgage loans consummated from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, for which the appraisal exemption threshold is now $33,500.

What to review: No change is mandatory, so first review how the higher threshold of $33,500, effective January 1, 2025 for loans consummated through December 31, 2025, relaxes the earlier $32,400 amount. The lender may use the higher amount when deciding whether a higher-priced mortgage loan is exempt from the appraisal requirement. AWACS interpretation
