Rocket’s struggle to adapt to highly volatile market conditions

Homeowners who obtain cash-out refis and then miss their payments are putting themselves at a foreclosure risk because the home serves as collateral with cash-out refis. Colin Wyzgoski, former banker at Rocket, said he was instructed to tell clients that a …
Colin Wyzgoski, former banker at Rocket, said he was instructed to tell clients that a higher interest rate was fine because they could refinance again when rates drop (a common sales strategy for many lenders in the current environment). Wyzgoski told the Journal that he was instructed to look through potential clients’ financial records and find upcoming expenses so he could push homeowners to consolidate into their mortgages through a refi.
“It’s a common ARP,” Wyzgoski said, referring to a sales tactic known internally as “acknowledge, respond, pivot.”

“Acknowledge – repeat the question you got from the lead. Respond – give a reply but don’t give the information they require. Pivot – get back to what you want to talk about.”

Multifamily’s Imminent Down Cycle Is Overdue

Redfin on Oct. 27 noted that pending home sales in October declined to their lowest since 2015. The report said, “U.S. pending home sales fell 35 percent year over year during the four weeks ending October 23..”
It noted the drop “represents the largest annual decline and the fewest homes under contract in any October since at least 2015, when Redfin’s weekly housing market records began.”
For the Tacoma metro area, pending sales in the same four-week period dropped 49.5 percent compared with 2021, according to data from the real estate firm.
Redfin deputy chief economist Taylor Marr said in the report that “both mortgage purchase applications and pending sales are below 2018 levels. A four-year setback is a serious correction.”
Marr added, “With mortgage rates still elevated, we are in for further sales declines, but those should eventually bring price relief to those who need to move this winter.”
Here’s a look at the top 10 cities where home prices are steadily plummeting, ending with a popular city experiencing the largest housing market price decrease.
Spokane, Washington
Median home list price: $449,900
Change since June: -7.4%
Change since September 2021: +5.6%
Durham, North Carolina
Median home list price: $460,000
Change since June: -7.5%
Change since September 2021: +2.2%
Stockton, California
Median home list price: $581,725
Change since June: -7.7%
Change since September 2021: +7.3%
Median home list price: $460,000
Change since June: -7.9%
Change since September 2021: +7%
Denver, Colorado
Median home list price: $625,000
Change since June: -8.0%
Change since September 2021: +4.2%
Ogden, Utah
Median home list price: $532,500
Change since June: -8.6%
Change since September 2021: +7.7%
Charleston, South Carolina
Median home list price: $500,000
Change since June: -8.6%
Change since September 2021: +10%
Palm Bay, Florida
Median home list price: $379,995
Change since June: -8.9%
Change since September 2021: +5.8%
Phoenix, Arizona
Median home list price: $493,500
Change since June: -9.9%
Change since September 2021: +4.4%
Austin, Texas

Change since September 2021: +2.2%
San Francisco, AI lending platform Upstart has laid off 7 per cent of its total workforce (around 140 employees), as it faces weakening demand for loans in the US due to significant hikes in interest rates.
The lending platform which has about 2,000 employees, notified its affected employees about the layoff on Tuesday, reports TechCrunch.
The company’s share price dropped by 84 per cent this year. The market cap of Upstart once reached $32 billion. It is now less than $2 billion.
Homeowners with existing fixed-rate mortgages won’t see any changes. But recent and prospective homebuyers are being socked by higher rates that take into account projected Fed increases through 2022.
“The speed at which mortgage rates have risen is more destabilizing than the actual level of rates,” Yelena Maleyev, KPMG economist, said. “We have seen mortgage rates higher than 7% before, but we never have seen rates double in a matter of months. “
The average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage in the week ended Oct. 21 was 7.16%, the highest rate since 2001, according to Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA).
That’s dampened borrower demand for both mortgage purchases and refinances. For the week ending Oct. 21, mortgage applications fell 1.7% to the slowest pace since 1997, MBA said. Refinance applications were essentially unchanged, but purchase applications declined 2% to the slowest pace since 2015 and more than 40% behind last year’s clip, it said.
A report on financial stability is likely to be presented during the meeting, according to Nomura’s economists, and Powell may be asked whether the pace of hikes and potentially a US recession could cause international spillovers or disruptions in US credit markets. Three-month Treasury yields topped the 10-year yield last week, a so-called inversion that is often seen as a signal of a recession.
“We are not conditioned in the US to be dealing with a 4.5% federal funds rate,” said Troy Ludtka, senior US economist at Natixis North America LLC, and there are concerns credit markets could be disrupted. “Internationally is even scarier. Europe looks terrible. China is not in recession, but I think it’s their slowest growth in a long, long time.”

Kenmore, WA Housing Prices Crater 26% As Mortgage Defaults Grip Seattle Area
As a national broker put it, “You can sell today for less or sell later for much less because housing prices are cratering.”

“Ramussen reported in January 2022 that Democratic voters supported the following Covid policy ideas:
Fines for the unvaccinated: Fifty-eight percent (58%) of voters would oppose a proposal for federal or state governments to fine Americans who choose not to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
House arrest: Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Democratic voters would favor a government policy requiring that citizens remain confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies, if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Imprisonment for questioning the vaccine: Nearly half (48%) of Democratic voters think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications.
Forced quarantine: Forty-five percent (45%) of Democrats would favor governments requiring citizens to temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Stripping people of their children: Twenty-nine percent (29%) of Democratic voters would support temporarily removing parents’ custody of their children if parents refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccine. That’s much more than twice the level of support in the rest of the electorate – seven percent (7%) of Republicans and 11% of unaffiliated voters – for such a policy.”
Never forgive. Never forget.

“Last month Kari Lake, a former local TV anchor on the Fox network, joined a rightwing podcast The Conservative Circus to discuss her bid to become Arizona’s next governor.
Lake, who has been endorsed by Donald Trump, began by complaining that Joe Biden had just made a speech about the threat to democracy posed by election deniers like herself who claim, without evidence, that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

She’s right. Democrat Party are Marxist genocidal terrorists and Godless communist baby killers.
“That an arch-election denier who has been at the forefront of attempts to overturn Biden’s victory should refuse to state openly whether she will abide by the outcome of her own election has set alarm bells ringing. Lake is one of several prominent election deniers who have dropped hints – some subtle, others blatant – that they might mimic Trump’s anti-democratic tactics in their own elections just days away.
“There’s great danger that the Trump ‘big lie’ is going to spread to states all over the country. If election deniers lose their elections by narrow margins we can expect that they will reject the results and refuse to accept them,” said Fred Wertheimer, president of the non-partisan group Democracy 21.”
The 2020 election was stolen, Fred.
Joe Biden didn’t win.
“Almost two years after Trump launched his unprecedented election subversion push, culminating in the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol, the doubts he sowed around election integrity are now blossoming. A new poll from NBC News found that 65% of Republican voters still view Biden’s presidency as illegitimate.
“The cancer that former president Trump injected into our electoral system has spread in 2022 to any number of candidates for important positions. They’re following the Trump playbook,” Wertheimer said.
