If your organization is not accepting 100% MISMO ready files, there is no better time to begin understanding your options. Accepting MISMO-ready files from the start is the best place to start, but here are some possibilities to help you transition.
UCDP requires MISMO-ready files be submitted to the portal, so when the in-portal source for extraction is removed, lenders who are still receiving appraisals as PDFs will need to find an alternate source to convert the files. Veros has offered PDF extraction services independent of the portal and will continue to do so in order to assist the lenders who still require this assistance.
Extraction requires first-generation PDF, which means the PDF file was provided directly from the appraiser’s desktop and was not modified, copied or scanned in the process of transmitting the file to the lender and/or to UCDP. Most PDFs can be exported via Veros’ “Tier 1” extraction process, which is a fully electronic extraction of the appraisal file. When a PDF requires additional effort to extract the lender can escalate the file to Tier 2 and ultimately Tier 3 appraisal extraction levels which incorporate a combination of digital and manual extraction, or fully manual extraction (respectively).
If receiving MISMO-ready files is not yet an option for your organization, click here to contact a Veros representative about how your team can begin transitioning to these non-portal PDF extraction services.
If your loan volume falls somewhere between manageable uploads to the UCDP web portal and large-scale direct integrations, then you’re one of thousands of lenders looking for a mid-sized solution and their own connection point. Veros’ Pathway provides just such a solution.
Pathway provides a system-to-system connection accepting first-generation PDFs and converting to the UCDP-approved MISMO format. Pathway also provides lenders the ability to preview and resolve potential UAD errors prior to submitting to the portal – all seamlessly through the Pathway.

The housing market situation is fundamentally different from that during the great recession of 2008. One of the key reasons why house prices have not declined significantly is because of the very low inventory of homes available for sale. There were fewer than one million existing homes available for sale in January 2023 compared to over 3 million in any month during 2007-2008.
High home prices coupled with high interest rates made purchasing a house increasingly unaffordable. As a result, demand for home purchases fell. Pending sales across the United States decreased by over 40% from mid-June to the end of 2022.
In this short article, we look at three different consumer mortgage metrics when comparing the economic conditions today to the Great Recession over a decade ago.
