As 2022 comes to a close, join us for a review of what happened in the economy and the housing and mortgage markets in 2022, and what to expect in the coming year.
Our industry experts will discuss the impact of rising interest rates on loan volume and home affordability; inventory of new and existing homes; home sales and prices; what to expect in default and foreclosure; and whether we've seen the end of the massive layoffs hitting mortgage originators. Will 2023 be more of the same or are there new issues on the horizon?
