Abstract: An automated valuation model and corresponding analysis tool that graphically displays value history information in association with a subject property is disclosed. In one example, the tool generates a graph plotting the valuation history of a subject property over an adjustable time range in relation to a general price index for a pertinent geographical area. When looking at an appraisal for a property, the graph also supports selective plotting of appraiser-selected comparable properties' valuation histories against that of the subject property. The valuation history for comparable properties can be scaled on a pro-rata basis according to the percentage of the adjustments made within the appraisal. In addition, the graph selectively incorporates model-generated comparables and their valuation histories.

Abstract: Ranking and displaying comparable properties entails receiving appraisal information comprising a subject property and appraiser-chosen comparable properties corresponding to the subject property. Property data corresponding to a geographical area is accessed, in support of determining model-chosen comparable properties based upon the appropriateness of each of the comparable properties as comparables for the subject property. A map image is displayed for the geographical area, along with indicators on the map image indicative of the subject property, at least one of the appraiser-chosen comparable properties, and at least one of the model-chosen comparable properties.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing a subject appraisal detects discrepancies and determines likely causes. This is done by accessing several data structures which correspond to appraisals that each contain data regarding property characteristics of a particular property. Data for different appraisals is then compared according to one or more rules. Depending on the result of the comparison and in light of the rules, a message, flag, or warning may be generated. In this manner, possible instances of fraud or misrepresentation may be detected.

Abstract: Performing automated appraisals with automatic detection and remediation of situations involving faulty characteristics is disclosed. Property information characteristics are extracted from properties listed on electronic appraisals. For a subject property, faulty characteristics include the absence of characteristics, or errors in characteristics. Such faulty characteristics are those that would cause an automated appraisal of the given property to be invalid or unsuitable. In response to the detection of faulty characteristics, interfaces may solicit input addressing the faulty characteristic and upon remediation indicate a clean and complete characteristic set. Thereafter, automated appraisal of the subject property based on the clean characteristic set is initiated to provide an automated valuation of the subject property.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically accessing property data corresponding to properties within the geographic area and displaying on a display device a map corresponding to said geographic area. Applying a comparable selection model based on a subject to the property data to generate a set of comparable properties, altering the set of comparable properties based on a variation command to generate an altered comparable property set, and displaying on the display device the map with the altered comparable property information.
