ADU Appraisals in CA

[Jessica Lawrence]

Now that the new 2020 California laws are in full effect, is anyone hearing anything about a change to the way that ADUs are appraised? So far everything I've read has said that appraisals of properties with ADUs tend to come in on the low side, usually because there aren't enough comps out there. If the state really wants people to start building a bunch of ADUs, shouldn't they also be encouraging appraisers to change their evaluation methods, for example comparing duplexes to SFHs with ADUs or comparing JADUs to traditional additions?
