Systems and methods for asset valuation

Abstract

Systems and methods for asset valuation, whole loan processing and inventory management is described. The systems and methods may include modules. An asset valuation tool may use multiple data sources for producing current and predicted future values and historical and intermediate data points on a requested timeline. A loan information pricing tool may perform unlimited volumes of loan program eligibility and multi-variable pricings on a user desktop. A workout activity tracking tool may capture, monitor, measure and report on a loan workout process including direct hosting and integration of the asset valuation tool and the loan information pricing tool. The present invention may offer diverse and competitive modular components as well as an integrated and innovative platform that does not exist in the market.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for asset valuation, the system comprising:
 a processor;   a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the memory comprising computer program instructions executable by the processor for performing steps of:
 receiving a query from a user regarding an asset for valuation; 
 accessing data related to the asset from a plurality of data sources, wherein the data includes at least a first index value for the asset, a second index value for the asset, and a first valuation value; 
 calculating an index of monthly value percentage changes from the first index value for the asset and the second index value for the asset; 
 applying the index of monthly value percentage changes to the first valuation value to create an estimated valuation value; 
 projecting future index values by statistical trend analysis of the index of monthly value percentage changes, underlying values of the index of monthly value percentage changes, or other market indicators; and 
 presenting the estimated valuation value to the user responsive to the query. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of data sources are variable public resources, private resources, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of data sources include market estimates. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of data sources include broker price options, actual appraisals, and populations of individual property valuations and estimates. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising receiving actual property-level transaction data. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , further comprising comparing the actual transaction data to estimated valuation value. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , further comprising updating the second index value based upon the comparing to create a third index value. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising calculating a confidence score for the estimated valuation value. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising calculating a future valuation using a future index. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the future index is related to the first index value or the second index value by the applications of one or more statistical methods. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 9 , further comprising applying trend and growth statistical analysis using future index. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the data further comprises original appraisal value, original appraisal date, property type and zip code. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the data further comprises identifiable zip codes. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the data further comprises zip code level indices. 
     
     
         15 . A system for loan pricing, the system comprising:
 a processor;   a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the memory comprising computer program instructions executable by the processor for performing steps of:
 interfacing with one or more third party servers; 
 interfacing with a plurality of databases in communication with the one or more third party servers; 
 interfacing with one or more client devices; 
 formatting a pool of loans; 
 providing a plurality of parameters for loan pricing to the one or more client devices; 
 receiving a selection from the one or more client devices of one or more of the plurality of parameters; 
 processing the pool of loans based upon the one more of the plurality of parameters; and 
 providing loan pricing for the pool of loans to the one or more client devices. 
   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising load balancing between the processor and the one or more client devices. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising grouping individual loans within the pool of loans during processing based upon similar characteristics of the individual loans. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising prioritizing co-pending tasks from multiple client devices. 
     
     
         19 . A system for tracking a loan workout process, the system comprising:
 a processor;   a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the memory comprising computer program instructions executable by the processor for performing steps of:
 interfacing with one or more client devices; 
 interfacing with one or more vendor systems; 
 accepting a query from the one or more client devices regarding the loan workout; 
 tracking the status of the loan workout; 
 receiving input from the vendor systems regarding the status of the loan workout; 
 updating the status of the loan workout based upon the input from the vendors; 
 providing logical controls to prevent mistakes during the loan workout; and 
 reporting the status for the loan workout to the one or more client devices in response to the query. 
   
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 19 , further comprising providing access security for controlling access to the status of the loan workout.
