The “unresolved complaints” may not be as clear-cut cases of discrimination as they are being portrayed. The fact that HUD has not found grounds to pursue discrimination claims, suggests that proving appraisal discrimination is extremely difficult. All of the filed complaints have involved disputes over the property’s appraised value, with borrowers alleging discrimination because the appraised value was lower than what they expected or desired.

What’s going on in Florida and Texas? Housing inventory levels in Florida are up the most in the nation on a year-over-year basis (57%), but the bulk of the increase is really concentrated in sections of Southwest Florida. In particular, in markets like Cape Coral and Fort Myers, which were hard-hit by Hurricane Ian in September 2022. Hurricane Ian left behind thousands of damaged homes, and the subsequent need for renovations has resulted in a jump of available housing inventory.

Also, for the third time this year, I have hit my target of weekly inventory growth between 11,000 -17,000, thus leading to more inventory than we saw in 2023.
