What Is a Desktop Valuation?

By Motley Fool Staff – Updated Dec 17, 2024 at 2:34 PM

Key Points

  • Desktop valuations assess asset value without physical inspection, using online data.
  • This method is cost-effective and efficient but less detailed than in-person appraisals.
  • They are now accepted by major entities like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
