Appraisals for completed new construction homes using sales comparison methodology with documented analysis of builder incentives, lot premiums, and option packages. Reports are written for conventional and FHA delivery and comply with GSE new construction guidelines under the Fannie Mae Selling Guide and Freddie Mac Single-Family Seller/Servicer Guide.
-
Appraisals completed subject to plans and specifications, based on builder contracts, floor plans, and finish schedules. Reports are delivered as subject-to assignments with hypothetical condition language consistent with USPAP and applicable GSE and agency requirements.
Apollo Values has experience with proposed construction assignments on master-planned communities and luxury production builds across the Tampa Bay and Suncoast market.
-
Apollo Values is qualified through HUD to complete FHA appraisals, including new construction assignments subject to HUD Handbook 4000.1 Minimum Property Standards. Builder-affiliated lenders financing FHA-eligible new construction need an appraiser who understands both the new construction comparables market and the FHA property condition requirements that apply to new builds. Both are covered here.
-
Apollo Values has completed platform evaluation and training ahead of the November 2026 UAD 3.6 mandatory implementation date. For builder-captive lenders whose transactions deliver to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, UAD 3.6 compliance is not optional after that date. Apollo Values is ready to deliver 3.6-compliant reports now.
UAD 2.6 capability is maintained in parallel for non-GSE and portfolio transactions.
