Racial Bias in Home Appraisals Investigated in 'Lowballed'

After Paul Austin and Tenisha Tate-Austin got an appraisal on their Marin City house that seemed unusually low, they took down art and photos that identified them as Black and asked a white friend to pose as the homeowner with a new appraiser.  That appraisal came back nearly half-million dollars higher.  Stories like this led ABC7 race and culture reporter Julian Glover to investigate bias in home appraisals. His one and a half year investigation found widespread undervaluing of Black and Latino people’s homes nationwide.  We’ll talk to Julian Glover about his documentary, Lowballed.
