Vision of Housing Upturn Fueled by MBA Convention
Mortgage bankers gathered at the MBA convention in Miami Beach see a housing upturn underway with rates likely to stay high for now. Some anticipate slight easing later, while many expect the federal role in housing to grow and private sector incentives to wane. Leaders like Evertt Mattson and Claude Pope predict rates stabilizing near current levels, with Pease foreseeing a minor decline. Housing starts rise as buyers adjust to high costs, signaling continued demand despite elevated financing.
