  • 5 Big July Mortgage Indicators
    Jul 10 2025

    Welcome back, Dreammakers, to Today in Mortgages! In this episode, hosts Michael and Richard talk about the current housing correction that's happening.

    Today's article is from National Mortgage Professional: "Housing correction gathers momentum as supply surges, affordability pressures persist." The article cites a few corrections:
    - Delinquency rates are stable but have ticked up a tad bit
    - Student loan payments have resumed and are really hurting some people after 5 years on a pause
    - Average debt-to-income ratio remains at a record high
    - Inventory, pricing & demand all play off of each other. Compare Jun 2019 homes for sales verses June 2025, in Texas alone there are 33% more homes for sale than in June 2019.
    - Demand, there's a lot of applications coming in but not a lot of inventory that meets their needs.

    Ultimately, we think we are going in the right direction, with rates trending downward. Listen in as we discuss this and more!

  • Big ✅ Beautiful 🤔 What It Means For Housing
    Jul 8 2025

    Welcome back, Dreammakers, to Today in Mortgages! In this episode, hosts Michael and Richard discuss if the big bill is "beautiful" for housing.

    Today's article from NationalMortgageProfessional.com is titled "President Trump signs big beautiful bill -- Here's what it means for mortgages and housing."
    - The first thing that stuck out to us was the ability to deduct mortgage insurance fees from your taxes starting in 2026.
    - Secondly, low income tax credits have been expanded, which ensures the building of affordable housing.
    - And finally the SALT deduction cap has gone from $10,000 to $40,000. If you're in a state with high state and local taxes that will help you.

    What we didn't see in the bill is some tax credits for first-time homebuyers. But just because the federal government isn't sponsoring programs, doesn't mean state governments aren't.

    Listen in as we discuss this and more!

  • New Home Sales Took a Hit in May
    Jun 26 2025

    Welcome back, Dreammakers, to Today in Mortgages! In this episode, hosts Michael and Richard discuss the rise in existing home sales in May, but new homes were a different story...

    Today's article from the United States Census "Monthly New Residential Sales, May 2025" states new home sales fell 13.7% from April. Rich doesn't find this surprising; we are right at the end of a quarter so we expect June to be better. This compares with new home starts which are down about 10%. We predict prices will rise next quarter with the extra tariffs hitting lumbar.

    Overall, inventory is not the issue, there's more new and existing homes for sale. We just need more affordable interest rates for all those first-time homebuyers to be enticed to buy.
