Inflation continues to push prices higher. Bond yields are responding for fear of that inflation. Ten Year T pushed past a critical 1.63 level and has closed above it. So 30yr mortgage rates have left the 2% level smack into the mid 3% arena causing refinances to fall off. Loan officers, managers, and company ownership are all facing the facts that refinances are going away rapidly, and what was once the major force in originations is now off by 22% year over year as rates continue to rise. If your business was 50% - 60% - 70% or more refinances; whatcha gonna do for business in 2022?…

It’s a very strange time for the country in general, the mortgage industry and real estate are not without their challenges as well. Some are directly linked to the other, some much more convoluted in their connection. It’s not hard to see that rising inflation impacts everyone. If things cost more, then they cost more. Some people are fortunate enough to stay ahead of inflation with their income, others will have to do with less. The real issues aren’t just that things cost more, as much as the stress that is caused when entire budgets are blown, or opportunities are eliminated because of it. The emotional impact can be very real as rising prices take their toll.
We are seeing inflation far exceed FED targets and they have pushed their projections of inflation from “transitory” firmly into “reality” as it will not be temporary and certainly will not…

Anais Nin “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” Move Up While The Price Is Right For years Maynard and Marlene Mueller had yearned to move to a more upscale neighborhood where some of their friends were living. The price tag on the monthly note would have been $800 higher than what they were paying then on their current home. That plan was insanely out of reach for them in 2018. However, in the current market the Muellers considered the deep dip in the mortgage rates combined with the simultaneous spike in their current home value. Now they finally could make the positive pivot to the bigger, beautiful home. They sold their current home at a top price and took the $300,000 net profit and put it down on that more upscale…

Now is an important time in our industry to pay attention to the numbers, the charts, and especially the political rhetoric on all sides. I don’t remember a series of potential market movers and known events all happening in the next week, but any or all of these could dramatically move the markets. First, lets look at where we are to see where the mortgage markets sit as of 6am 10-7-21 when I am writing this: UMBS 30yr 2.5% is 103.05 – 10yr T is 1.52. In the past year the High was 105.63 on 1/4/21 and a low of 102.20 on 3/19/21 and the 10yr T was 1.71 on 3/31/21 and .709 on 10/14/20 Just a point of reference and charts you can have available to share with your clients.

Nicolas Manetta-“Those who don’t think outside the box are easily contained.” “We have reached a tipping point,” real estate market experts are saying. They point out that more homes are being listed for sale, and the prices are still rising, but not at the double-digit frenzy we have seen over the last year. Homebuyers are stepping back into action and making offers on homes now that there may be only five competing offers on the house they want instead of twenty-five offers. Buyers want to lock in a fixed mortgage rate in high two’s or three’s to give themselves an affordable house payment and a design on building their personal wealth. Home sellers sitting on the fence are now staking the “For Sale” sign out in the yard. While home prices are high and demand is red hot, sellers want to realize the highest profit and not regret…
