I'm still processing everything that happened at the Housing Economic Summit last week. Mind. Absolutely. Blown. In 14 years attending industry events, I've NEVER seen a room this electric. The caliber of people in that room? → CEOs of top mortgage companies → Heads of major real estate brokerages → The best Economists from our industry → Thought leaders shaping the future of housing No surface-level panel discussions. No rehearsed talking points. No vendor pitches disguised as "thought leadership." Just raw, unfiltered conversations about where this market is ACTUALLY headed. My favorite moment? When Logan Mohtashami shared why he thinks the worst is behind us. You could hear a pin drop in that room. I posted a quick video recap below so you can feel the energy yourself. But trust me, the video doesn't do it justice. If you weren't there, I'm not trying to create FOMO, but... You missed something special!! The good news is HousingWire has more events like this coming up. For brands wanting to get in front of the REAL decision-makers in housing, I'm telling you right now - these events are where the magic happens. The ROI on sponsoring a HousingWire event is mind blowing. We're seeing BIG results for our partners! Want in on the fun? Sponsorship spots are going fast for our next events (The Gathering and AI summit)... So, if you're interested, DM me "SPONSOR INFO" and I'll get you more info. P.S. - Big shoutout to the HousingWire team for putting on an event that actually moved the industry forward instead of just talking about it. This is how it's done. ??

In this episode of HousingWire Daily, Logan Mohtashami shares key insights on the housing market. Tune in now! https://lnkd.in/epuVrSrQ What questions would you like Sarah to ask Logan the next time he’s on HousingWire Daily? Drop your thoughts below!

The photos have come out for HousingWire's Housing Economic Summit! I think I can tell the story of this event in seven images. 1. For those who were there, how amazing was it to see Barry Habib looking healthy and killing it onstage? 2. The room was crowded the entire day. We love the George Bush Institute, but our one day summits might be outgrowing the venue. (Makenna Clay) 3. Our speakers killed it, highlighted by Logan Mohtashami, Brian Hale, Ryan McKeveny, CFA, Lisa Sturtevant, Victoria DeLuce, and Christy Soukhamneut. 4. The networking was incredible! 5. I love our team at HousingWire. This is me catching up with our OG Christi Lingard. Christi has been with the company for sixteen years. I also got to spend quality time with Samantha Stein, Jennifer Watson Laws, Adina Ritter, Dan Smokoska, Matthew Mauldin, and Coy Ashcraft. 6. Mike Simonsen and Sarah Wheeler were doing real-time research with our audience of housing executives. We'll publish more results in the coming weeks. 7. Clayton Collins and Brena Nath closed us out by thanking our wonderful event partners. Another big shout out to Xactus, Tavant, Polly, Silk Title Co., GridBase?, LodeStar, Dark Matter Technologies, INDECOMM, Texas Mortgage Bankers Association, and COMMUNITY HOME LENDERS OF AMERICA.

The mortgage market is shifting, but brokers who embrace non-QM lending have a major opportunity. With self-employment on the rise and credit tightening, the right lender makes all the difference.
