There are 3 things that tell the truth: small children, drunk people, and yoga pants. HMDA data is close behind. Warning: sobering thoughts ahead, and not only the headlines about credit scores and mortgage pricing, officials trying to devise a plan for First Republic’s future, or two 80-year old white men posturing about the country’s future. Residential lenders at the recent MBA STRATMOR Peer Group meeting in Atlanta were looking at units, and I asked the MBA’s Joel Kan about some stats on fundings per year: 13.7 million in 2020, 14.2 million in 2021, 6.4 million in 2022 (awaiting final HMDA data in June), and 5.0 million forecast for 2023. That puts 2023’s fundings at about 1/3 of 2021’s. Forget overall volume numbers, since the loan sizes have moved higher… Have you reduced your expectations and staff, both in ops and production, to match a 66 percent decline in units? Or do you expect to grab market share through superior products, pricing
While here in Denver I received an email. “Rob, does what’s going on in Florida impact lenders?” I had to figure out if the author was asking about Disney/DeSantis, new Florida Man news, climate change, or insurance issues. Florida has a lot of cool things: manatees, Dry Tortugas National Park, Epcot Center, and cigar rollers in Tampa who do parties. Unfortunately it now has an additional insurance fee, as Florida has imposed a 1 percent “emergency” fee to property insurance premiums due to property-insurer insolvencies. Lenders in Florida often mention the Agencies, including HUD, and loan amounts. More specifically, many people living in Florida (“locals”) couldn’t buy their own homes due to wages versus values. Many of the Florida home loans that LOs have crossing their desks are now true jumbos. Buyers don’t get much in Tampa for $700k, and eastern Florida is worse. The loan limits are out of adjustment for the locals.
(Warning: cuteness ahead.) How does it feel to be a loan officer dealing with multiple borrowers on one loan? The study of how people borrow money, and where they’re moving, is of great interest to LOs and lenders, as well as vendors and real estate agents. (Warning: numbers ahead.) Though many believed that the spike in WFH (work from home) workers associated with the COVID-19 pandemic would lead to greater geographic mobility, the number of domestic movers in the United States actually declined from 2019 to 2021. The percentage of people in the United States who moved in the previous year declined from about 14 percent to roughly 13 percent, according to the 2019 and 2021 American Community Survey estimates. In 2019, 7.6 percent of the U.S. population moved to a new residence in the same county; by 2021, that percentage had declined to 6.7 percent. The percentage of those who reported that they had moved the previous year to a new residence in a different county within the sam
