He noted that the previous portal’s interface wasn’t intuitive, nor did it create an easy user experience. “One of the challenges was we figured out that we had a lengthy approval process, complex documentation, and we needed some better risk assessment and better collaboration with our broker. So the answer was to significantly improve the interface of the portal,” Avgustinov said. “From the technological point of view, it’s a modern technology stack. Also, of course, we implemented pieces of AI to manage condition automation better and to speed up the approval process.”

We don’t expect them to lower interest rates soon, but they must know that the market can’t continue like this for a third year. And so, we suspect additional housing stimulus initiatives will be announced by the end of this year, based on the current, feeble state of the housing market.”

Should You Take a Homebuyer Education Class?
This requirement often applies to loan programs that allow a high loan-to-value ratio, or LTV, which is the amount of the loan divided by the home's value. Loans with a high LTV have low down payments, and lenders want to make sure that borrowers who aren't putting much money down have thought through all the responsibilities of homebuying. "They want the first-time homebuyer to fully understand what they're getting into and be responsible, so ultimately they're not in over their heads and they can pay their mortgage," says Andrew Taylor, senior vice president of wholesale lending at A&D Mortgage.

Beneath the surface of these well-documented challenges lies a more insidious barrier: a pervasive lack of knowledge and understanding about the housing market. Let’s delve into why mortgage lenders and originators need to prioritize educating their clients — both homebuyers and Realtors — about the realities of the current market. It’s not just about addressing the tangible barriers to homeownership, such as affordability and availability. There’s an urgent need to tackle the myths, misconceptions and misinformation that are equally impeding buyers’ ability to make informed decisions.

In his State of the Union address earlier this month, Biden called on Congress to create legislation giving a $10,000 tax credit to first-time homebuyers and those who sell their starter homes. This move would help middle-class Americans cope with higher borrowing costs while incentivizing existing homeowners to sell more homes. "Home price growth will likely not surge going into the Spring home buying season, as home sales are fairly stagnant at this moment," Max Slyusarchuk, CEO of A&D Mortgage said. "We do believe rates will begin to drop in the second half of the year, and that will help pick up home sales, which will be buoyed by stable home values." If you are looking to take advantage of the current mortgage rates by refinancing your mortgage loan or are ready to shop for the best rate on a new mortgage, consider visiting an online marketplace like Credible to compare rates and get preapproved with multiple lenders at once.

For instance, wholesale mortgage lenders frequently partner with banks and credit unions to make their products available to consumers. Commonly, they offer loans exclusively through mortgage brokers. Unlike retail mortgages—which are marketed directly by lenders to consumers—you can’t apply for a loan from a wholesale mortgage lender on your own.

Fed Skips Rate Hike in January. Are Cuts on the Way in 2024?
The FOMC’s pause in hiking strategy coupled with those economic indicators signal they believe inflation and interest rates should gradually descend. “Markets had already priced in a ‘no-change’ from the Fed, but political pressure is mounting on the Federal Reserve to look to cut rates sooner than later. Unless they bend, we believe rates will begin to start to slowly pull back in the second half of this year, with many economists predicting a mortgage-positive outcome from the May meeting,” said A&D Mortgage CEO Max Slyusarchuk.

If you’re attracted to ARMs, consider a shorter initial fixed period, said Max Slyusarchuk, CEO of A&D Mortgage.

ARTICLE BY CEO MAX SLYUSARCHUK: One consequence of the interest rate hikes over the past few years is that some homeowners are staying put and tapping the equity in their homes. Given the rapid appreciation in the housing market, many homeowners have large amounts of equity in their homes. The average U.S. homeowner possessed an impressive $288,000 in equity at the midpoint of 2023, according to CoreLogic. This was a substantial increase from the $182,000 recorded prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. One popular way to access home equity is with a second mortgage.
