If 2020 was a challenging year for all of us, 2021 is certainly starting out with a lot of activity. Purchase activity, refinance activity, COVID activity, vaccination activity, political activity, and quite a bit of activity in the bond market! The purchase and refinance activity is pretty much following the numbers we saw going into the holidays and a pretty good size surge of new preapprovals entering the market to look into what is usually a very busy listing month for resales! Unfortunately, spikes in COVID cases are raising concerns as vaccines are being sped to market each day, but not as fast as many would like. We have challenges on the political front that won’t likely go away any time soon, but will definitely impact all of us in some way yet to be determined. Then there is the bond market losing almost 50bps in the past two days…

Twas the week before Christmas, And despite what the media has said; Purchase loans and refinance activity, Are far from dead! Buyers are still making offers, On homes both large and small. Despite their faulty belief, That all of the shopping is done at the mall! So don’t pay attention, To those who would say otherwise. Mortgage loan volume, Still continue to set new highs! While this year has been unlike, Any other we have seen. The desire to own and refinance, Are still picking up steam! I will leave you with good tidings, As a coach to some of the best; Don’t miss out on opportunities available, While others party and rest! There are renters wanting to own, Trade-uppers looking to sell and buy; And let us not forget those, Who have yet to Refi! Enjoy some time with your family, Make sure to have some well-deserved fun; But…
2020 has been a year unlike any other. While we began the year with lower rates, COVID-19 quickly took the spotlight. Despite shutdowns and layoffs, refinances boomed and the purchase market kept everyone moving. We have not been at a loss for opportunities with rates more than 1% lower than this time last year, refinances are almost double what they were and purchase business is up more than 22% nationwide! All of this activity may have people just struggling to hang on to their sanity because of growing volumes, some have really grown themselves, their systems, and the types of referral partners and opportunities they have sought out. While there are many that boarded the leads list train, others have made a different choice on how to grow their business. Some have hired production partners that funnel volume up to an individual, others have mastered the business to a point…
I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Thanksgiving last week. This week we need to talk about December and the fact that we need to really focus on our people. Our clients, our teams, our support staff, and most of all our families all require our attention. The steps are pretty simple: • Every current file in process that closes this month needs to be smooth and swift. Take care that any file scheduled to close the last two weeks of the month be clear to close no later than Friday the 18th.• All pre-approvals need to be contacted this week to determine their intentions. Are we looking every week at homes, are we looking occasionally for homes, or are we waiting until January to resume looking?• Those with files to close in January need to stay on top of information and timelines so we don’t start 2021 in…

2020 has presented more than its share of challenges for our industry, our country, and our families. While we in the mortgage and real estate industries have had recorded setting years, many people that surround us have set the kinds of records nobody wanted to achieve. Unemployment, business closings, and shutdowns have taken a serious toll. None of the volume or unit records in mortgage and real estate stands alone.
