VeroPACE™
For lenders specializing in Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) loans
VeroPACE™ helps lenders who specialize in California’s Property Assessed Clean Energy loans expedite the PACE loan process and meet any new regulations that affect the collateral valuation process.
Available through VeroSELECT™, VeroPACE simplifies meeting the multiple-AVM requirement and the confidence score testing.
Addressing The Regulatory Impact of PACE
In January 2018, California State Assembly Bill 1284 and companion State Senate Bill 242 were enacted to add additional requirements for lender’s handling PACE financing.
That legislation requires that PACE loans have:
- Three Automated Valuation Models (AVMs), obtained from a third-party vendor, instead of the single AVM previously required
- Confidence scores for all three AVMs that are averaged into a single score based on a specific calculation formula
The resulting value, combined in a report with data from the three AVMs, becomes the valuation submitted with the PACE loan application.
VeroPACE™ Makes it Simple
When VeroPACE is ordered through VeroSELECT, a single data call is made, generating a “cascade” through which up to ten AVMs may be run. This greatly increases the likelihood of obtaining the necessary three hits. VeroSELECT stops requesting AVMs once it has received three valid hits. If ten AVMs do not produce the required three, PACE lenders can use VeroSELECT to immediately order evaluations and full appraisals, and quickly turn around a complete valuation solution.
VeroPACE Solves Pace Lending Challenges
Different PACE Automated Valuation Models (AVM) providers have different methods of producing confidence scores and values, the process of identifying the AVM with the highest confidence score and then calculating the mid-range value has presented some significant challenges for many PACE lenders.
VeroPACE addresses these challenges by handling the entire valuation process on their behalf. It begins by taking the three valid AVM hits and determining the one with the highest confidence score. By calculating the average of its high and low values, it returns that required score to the lender in a standardized data format.
VeroPACE also generates a coversheet with all of the supporting the data elements, which can be retained with the loan file to create a paper trail.

The reasons for the stubbornly low housing supply
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.
Pending home sales display buyers’ response to fluctuating mortgage rates
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.
Mortgage Metrics Today Versus the Great Recession
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.
