The real estate and mortgage market is in a constant state of flux, with even more change expected throughout 2025.
One big change in particular is the recent announcement by Freddie Mac to discontinue external distribution of its automated valuation model (AVM) - Home Value Explorer (HVE) - effective July 31, 2025. HVE will continue to play an integral role in Freddie Mac’s business, powering its risk assessments. Now may be the time to consider alternative valuation options or further evaluate your current solutions.
Watch our recent webinar, Industry changes require advanced property valuation tools, as ICE Mortgage Technology’s John Holbrook, Senior Manager of Product Management, Valuation Analytics, and Webster Royston, Senior Manager of Product Management, Valuation Analytics, discussed the Freddie Mac HVE announcement and what it means for those in the industry looking to fill the void. They also discussed the recent state of the U.S. tappable home equity market, and how ICE’s Property Valuation Model and updated features to ICE’s mobile solution Validate can help prepare you for this upcoming industry shift.
