Market Update
It is a certainty that economies will continuously cycle, and the volume of business in the mortgage ecosystem varies wildly based on interest rates, housing prices, unemployment, and the general health of our economy. We are exiting a period of historic low-interest rates and rapid home price appreciation, and now entering a period with recessionary headwinds and a robust job market. Join this panel to hear from experts as to key current data points and discussions of expected trends in housing and the mortgage market.
