In announcement #20-23 PennyMac announced that we will not purchase any delegated or nondelegated conventional loan where the appraisal has a Collateral Underwriter (CU) score of 5.
Effective immediately, PennyMac is rescinding announcement #20-23 and will accept appraisals with the same requirements as prior to the announcement. Correspondents are encouraged to work with appraisers and their AMCs to resolve issues that result in high-risk scores. PennyMac will complete an internal appraisal review of all appraisals with CU 5s and will determine if the appraisal or property is acceptable.
