Adjusted Value: For properties acquired by the borrower within 12 months of the case number assignment date the adjusted value is the lesser of

  • The borrower’s purchase price, plus any documented improvements made after the purchase; or
  • The property value.

Properties acquired by the borrower within 12 months of application by inheritance or through a gift from a family member may utilize the calculation of adjusted value for properties  purchased 12 months or greater.

For properties acquired by the borrower greater than or equal to 12 months prior the case assignment date, the adjusted value is the property value.

This policy applies to all FHA refinance transactions that require appraisals including, FHA-to-FHA refinance transactions.
