Welcome back, Dreammakers, to Today in Mortgages! In this episode, hosts Michael and Richard talk about the current housing correction that’s happening. Today’s article is from National Mortgage Professional: “Housing correction gathers momentum as supply surges, affordability pressures persist.” The article cites a few corrections:
– Delinquency rates are stable but have ticked up a tad bit
– Student loan payments have resumed and are really hurting some people after 5 years on a pause
– Average debt-to-income ratio remains at a record high
– Inventory, pricing & demand all play off of each other. Compare Jun 2019 homes for sales verses June 2025, in Texas alone there are 33% more homes for sale than in June 2019.
– Demand, there’s a lot of applications coming in but not a lot of inventory that meets their needs.
Ultimately, we think we are going in the right direction, with rates trending downward. Listen in as we discuss this and more!
