2. A computer software program that analyzes data using an automated process. For example, AVMs may use regression, adaptive estimation, neural network, expert reasoning, and artificial intelligence programs. Note that the output of an AVM is not, by itself, an appraisal. An AVM's output may become basis for appraisal, appraisal review, or appriasal consulting opinions and conclusions if the appriaser believes the output to be credible and reliable for use in a specific assignment. (USPAP, 2002 ed.)

Since it is illegal per USPAP guildlines for appraisers to do a value check on a property and give an estimated value before an appraisal is actually completed, lenders and or mortgage brokers, can use AVMs in order to get a general value of a property before they order an appraisal.
