"The forecasted 2.6% growth over the next year, while moderate, suggests that home prices are not in a free fall but adjusting to a new equilibrium," A&D Mortgage CEO Max Slyusarchuk said. "This is a key point for mortgage brokers to communicate to prospective homebuyers who might be on the fence, contemplating the timing of their purchase." - Fox Business

"Markets had already priced in a ‘no change’ from the Fed, but political pressure is mounting on the Federal Reserve to cut rates sooner rather than later. Unless [FOMC members] 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.” -Slyusarchuk in the Scotsman Guide

"For households struggling to make ends meet, such a refinance option will keep many out of foreclosure. However, reducing the mortgage by extending the time homeowners need to repay the home loan will not help with larger issues facing the economy, such as rising inflation and interest rates, that will continue to drive other household costs higher, such as the grocery bill and the car loan."
