Fairness in Real Estate Appraisals: Valuation, Subjectivity, and Bias
Homeownership lies at the core of the American Dream, representing success, opportunity, and wealth. But for many citizens, America deferred that dream by official and private discriminatory practices that served as barriers to access, largely on the basis of race and ethnicity. The exclusion begins with the home appraisal—recent studies show that homes in majority-Black neighborhoods are appraised at less than half of those in neighborhoods with few or no Black residents. The impact of this undervaluation—from lost sales, higher downpayments, higher refinance interest rates and higher mortgage insurance premiums—ripple through the housing markets. The panelists will discuss “What happens to a dream deferred?” and offer insights on the ability of the Fair Housing Act and other legislative and regulatory initiatives to make appraisals bias-free.
Panelists: Stephen Dane, National Fair Housing Alliance
Dr. Elizabeth Korver-Glenn, Washington Univ., St. Louis
Cheryl Wade, St. John’s University, School of Law
Moderator: Shelby D. Green, Elisabeth Haub School of Law, Pace University

Adaptive Reuse Pt. I: Office Space Conversion
Tuesday, January 9, 2024, 12:30 to 1:30 pm ET
Abstract
Office space rental rates plummeted during the Pandemic. Land use and industry insiders have coined a new term, “Zombie Buildings,” to describe office buildings that are less than 50% occupied. Cities have begun planning to combat this Zombie Building invasion with adaptive reuses of these properties for residential and other purposes. Our panel will discuss the studies, plans and outcomes so far.
Speakers: Stephen Miller, University of Idaho, College of Law
Hilary G. Atzrott Hamburg, Venable LLP
Moderator: Shelby D. Green, Elisabeth Haub School of Law
The webinar is free and you can register at the Section’s website.
