MPF Traditional Selling Guide Updates – 3D Printed Homes and Unique Property Types

Effective Date: Immediately (unless otherwise noted)

In an effort to provide more clarity and alignment with industry standards, updates have been made to the MPF Traditional Selling Guide to clarify the eligibility of certain 3D printed homes and certain unique or nontraditional types of housing, such as barndominiums, earth houses, geodesic domes, and log houses.  See MPF Traditional Selling Guide Section 6.1.1 and 6.1.1.1 for more details.

PFIs must ensure special consideration is given in the appraisal to properties that represent unique housing for the subject neighborhood and must ensure there is sufficient information available to develop a reliable opinion of market value.
