Rocket, UWM, Better) could increase number of refinancers to 60% by reducing paperwork friction and automating more of the process. ▫️In response, banks to raise rates across $9T mortgage market…tytt homelending rates are set with expectation that most people don’t have time (or information) about the opportunity to prepay/refinance when rates drop. Borrowers can still come out on top depending on how many refinance and level of rate change…but definitely a new equilibrium. *** More from Bloomberg:
