SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EVALUATING FUTURE COLLATERAL RISK QUALITY OF REAL ESTATE

摘要

An apparatus and method is provided for evaluating default and foreclosure loss risk, both at time zero and for several years into the future, associated with a piece of real property on the basis of factors such as statistical home price trend information for a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) in which the real property is located and loan terms. An automated valuation estimate for the property is obtained and compared to the purchase price. A loan-to-value ratio is determined based on automated valuation estimate. A future home price is predicted based on statistical data obtained for a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) in which the real property is located. Based on the future home price and the LTV ratio, a probability that the real property will have negative equity is determined, and a risk score is generated based on the probability. Other features include generating base scores for each of a plurality of future years and obtaining a weighted average of the base scores; adjusting the risk score based on liquidity of real property values for the MSA in which the real property is located; adjusting the risk score based on reliability of data for the real property; adjusting the risk score based on price volatility for the MSA in which the real property is located; and using unemployment data in the MSA for which the real property is located in calculating the risk score.
