In other industry news, amidst the record inflation and higher interest rates,
Fannie Mae Economic and Strategic Research Group’s 2023 Economic and Housing Outlook predicts the onset of the recession in the 1Q of 2023. The trade association expects inflation, which is currently at a record high of 9.1%, to end 2022 at around 6% before falling to a 2%-2.5% range in 2023 and 2024. The
Federal Reserve will also likely continue tightening its fund rate at a range of 3.25% to 3.5% at the end of the year and a range of 3.75% to 4% in 2023. According to Dough Duncan, Chief Economist at Fannie Ma, the recession could induce a sharp depreciation in home prices but not an outright decline.

Is it the calm before the storm? We can only anticipate. However this week the housing market was a little lull. The mortgage rates inch up for a second consecutive week. Meanwhile, the average five-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) edged down four basis points to 4.31%. As rising rates and affordability issues continue to take their toll, many lenders use ARMs as a tool to address these challenges and originate more loans.

When asked about the prospect of a nonbank registration system, the CFPB pointed to a section of the
Dodd-Frank Act that said “authorizes the bureau to impose registration requirements on any non-depository covered person, regardless of whether the covered person is subject to supervision.”
