1004MC Service

The Calculation Process

We have carefully reviewed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac documentation and surveyed tenured appraisers across the country to arrive at the best practices for arriving at the 1004MC results and corresponding market statistics.

Our desire is for our calculation process to be transparent – so you can be assured that our results are accurate.

To assist in this transparency we offer a Calculation Check file, which you can download and run through the 1004MC Service engine to verify the results are accurate.

The Absorption Rate is is calculated by dividing the total number of sales for each time period by the months in the time period. This is six months in the Prior 7-12 time period and three months in the Prior 4-6 & Current – 3 Month time periods.

Each field represents a cumulative count of the total number of properties on the market for each time period.

This means if a property was listed during the Prior 7-12 month period and sold in the Current – 3 month period it would be counted as a Active Listing in the Prior 7-12 and Prior 4-6 Months period then as a Sale in the Current – 3 months time period.
