Mortgage Lending Explodes to 20 Year High
Clearly one of the big winners to come out of the coronavirus crisis is the U.S. housing market. Demand remains incredibly strong and the mortgage market is proof of that. Loan originations just hit a 20 year high of $1.1 Trillion for the quarter for both purchase money mortgages and refinances.
It seems that many are getting repositioned either with putting cheaper financing on their existing home due to record low mortgage rates, or they are buying a different home possibly in a different area as a result of Covid.
It seems we say this every year of late, but there’s never been a better time to sell your home than right now from what I recall having been in the business for 17 years.

Husband of 36 years to my college sweetheart, Janet Murphy (@janetmurphydesign on Instagram). Together we have 6 wonderful children from ages 18-34 and 6 grandchildren. My main work is helping commercial building owners and real estate investors save money on their income taxes by doing cost segregation. I work all over the U.S. but have a lot of clients here in SC and in the southeast in particular. The firm I represent is CSSI, LLC. I love the work! I’ve also been a licensed REALTOR since 2003 and broker since 2007 but my work is limited to just a few clients each year. We relocated to Greenville, SC for the lifestyle, lower cost of living, amazing amenities in the area and the growth opportunity for business and real estate. We absolutely love it here!
