David Braun, MAI, SRA has been working with the a la mode, inc.'s Labs Project on the development of a new Market Analysis form that runs in Excel. 

This webcast is the first in a three-part series that will be discussing:

• Why do appraiser's need to do a Market Analysis?
• What is a Market?
• What is a Bubble in the housing market?
• What are some methods of performing a market analysis?

In this first webcast David makes references from his book Appraising in the New Millennium: Due Diligence and Scope of Work- Second Edition and Fannie Mae's 07-11 Announcement: Overstating Property Values in Declining Markets.

David says: "The point of this podcast is to tell you . . .You've got a little work to do!" 

"You can't just go to our form, open it up and go through a process. You must become competent to do a market analysis through studying books like the Scope of Work book  . . . Where you think about due diligence and you think about conclusions . . .and you need to go through your basic principals."
