A recession just wouldn't hurt the market that bad today. If there was a recession, yes interest rates would come down, but on the flip side we are in a housing shortage.

Welcome back, Dreammakers, to Today in Mortgages! In this episode, hosts Michael and Richard talk about high insurance costs. Affordability is becoming a big problem in the United States. Insurance and property taxes have been driven up in the last few years, and according to today's article from Insurance Business Magazine, "Insurance could kill mortgages in some of the US - Powell." In the recent Fed meeting Powell commented on insurance, and how it's increased more than normal the last few years. This is largely due to regions around the gulf, California, Texas and Florida who have an increasing amount of weather events. The insurers in these regions have to share the costs amongst all of the areas they cover, but at some point they can't stay competitive, so we are seeing insurance carriers pulling out of these regions altogether. This is a considerable factor in the affordability piece of buying a home right now. Hopefully, the market finds solutions for this insurance problem soon. But, in the meantime we suggest you find a trusted insurance advisor who will take care of your clients. Listen in as we discuss this and more!

Welcome back, Dreammakers, to Today in Mortgages! In this episode, hosts Michael and Richard talk about the CFPB. It was established by congress to oversee lenders and give access to consumers to learn about mortgage lending, and make complaints. Tensions have come up in recent years, because it's led by one director and many believe it has become out of hand. Don't get us wrong, lenders in the business are better because of the CFPB, but they have gone past their core mission of serving consumers, by antagonizing lenders. The push now is to de-mantle the CFPB. Core question: without CFPB, are consumers still protected? Yes, the states all have regulatory bodies, but there is no central body.

Today's article from Morningstar talks about the possibilities of tariffs and what that could mean for us: "Buying a house admid the trade war? Here's what you can expect from mortgage rates." Some results of tariffs could include an immediate rise in the cost of building supplies like lumbar, and possibly a rise in inflation. There is some disagreement on this, but most economists say tariffs are inflationary. We are good for the next 30 days since Canada, Mexico and the USA have a temporary agreement, but if tariffs do happen, and we see inflation, then the fed would get involved and there could be a possible rate bump.

The article we look at today is: "What Trump's win could mean for housing: experts weigh in." There are a lot of thoughts in this article, but we want to focus on the idea of privatizing Freddie Mae, and Fannie Mac. The biggest hurdle in privatizing Freddie & Fannie would be the government giving up billions in revenue. They used to be private companies, until the government brought them into conservatorship during the 2011 bailout. A potential problem in this happening for our industry is that we probably wouldn't see as many loans to less qualified buyers. It would be likely less advantageous for a private company to offer affordable housing initiatives, because they generate less profit.
