What is SFREP's UAD 3.6 development timeline?
SFREP's development team has put in an extraordinary amount of effort since the UAD 3.6 specification was published in the spring of 2023, and will continue to do so well into 2026 to ensure you have the best appraisal report software on the market.
As a reminder, there are four key dates in the GSEs' UAD 3.6 timeline:
- September 8, 2025: Limited Production Period Begins
- Lenders who have been verified by the GSEs can begin issuing orders for UAD 3.6 reports
- January 26, 2026: Broad Production Period Begins
- Any lender can begin issuing orders for UAD 3.6 reports
- November 2, 2026: Mandate Date
- All new orders must be for UAD 3.6 reports
- May 3, 2027: Retirement Date
- Pre-November 2nd order revisions have cleared the pipeline and UAD 2.6 is retired
Keep in mind:
- UAD 3.6 order volume will likely be very low during Limited Production and into Broad Production, as most lenders will not begin participating in UAD 3.6 until after Broad Production begins.
- This timeline is only for FNMA and FHLMC. FHA, VA, and USDA have all announced they intend to adopt UAD 3.6, but have not yet published their own adoption timelines.
- The UAD 3.6 format is only for mortgage purposes. Non-lender work will continue to require general purpose report types, even after the mandate date.
SFREP's UAD 3.6 development timeline reflects the enormous amount of work it takes to implement the new dynamic report types and fully integrate them into Appraise-It Pro.
All future dates and plans are aspirational and subject to change based on user demand, level of effort required, and unforeseen circumstances.
