Rates Finally Go Lower!
It’s been over 20 months since interest rates started climbing as the Federal Reserve did everything to control inflation. This resulted in one of the worst lending climates for residential and commercial lending and real estate in the the last 30 years aside from the 2008 recession.
In January of 2023 we had over 200,000 licensed loan officers in the United States and in just 12 months, we lost almost half of that number due to rising interest rates and the lack of real estate and loan closings.
As a mortgage professional that provides Residential, Commercial, Reverse, Construction and Hard Money lending, I individually went from 10+ closings per month, to just a little over 2 closings per month which was dismal when compared to my past performance.
Per Barry Habib, an expert in the lending community, 2 closed loans or more was considered in the 99 percentile of loan officers in 2023. Most loan officers closed 1 per month or less in 2023 and some haven’t closed any loans in 2024.
Unfortunately this year hasn’t been much different or better. I know so many loan officers and realtors, that were forced to sell their homes or change careers. Thank god for savings and keeping your eye on the ball or I would have been in the same boat as so many others.
