Rob’s Market Report…The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Hope the week is treating you well!
For us in lending, it’s a world wind! Never in 30 years have I worked so many hours per week with such concentration for so long since going Shelter In Place on March 17. We had a short stay on SIP but that didn’t last long with SIP Chapter 2 commencing, where COVID numbers rapidly increased as the state of California and other states throughout the US lifted social distancing rules.
While COVID has impacted un-employment its done little to nothing in the near term to the Dow Jones which closed at 26,828 today and interest rates have gone lower. Definitely the lowest I have ever seen them in 30+ years of doing lending.
If you, your friends or family haven’t refinanced and have loans below $765k, have them contact us and we will happily quote them. Most retail banks are taking 90+ days to close a refi while were still at 45 to 50 days from start to finish. In addition, if your clients just want an idea of what’s available we can usually respond with a rate update within 24 hours whereas retail banks based on what my clients are saying, can sometimes take, weeks for a response.
Its as simple as completing the following questionnaire and forwarding back to me to run a rate search…See below:
Please complete the following refinance questionnaire or go here to complete online https://101loan.com/refinancing-start/. Once completed, I will research loan options out of 50 lenders and provide a rate comparison for your review based on the best available rates and loan options. Any questions at all, please contact me. Thanks.

BTW…if you missed my last video on Home Insurance, make sure you watch this. A client of ours out of the area was just quoted over $10,000 on a 3000 sq ft house as they let their home insurance lapse and unfortunately for them, they are in a risky area “burn wise”. https://101loan.com/market-update-and-insurance-update-fire-season-is-upon-us/
