Description

What is going on with mortgages!?! We start the show with an interview with Michael Creed, Producing Branch Manager for Luminate Home Loans. Though mortgage rates have come down slightly, they are still quite high. Michael gives us some insight on where things will most likely settle and how lenders are reacting to current and possible future mortgage rates.
