Hear from Allan Weiss (co-founder, Case-Shiller-Weiss) of Weiss Analytics and experts from Rocket Mortgage and Covius Services as they discuss key components of today’s housing market, including forecasted values given the future market environment and leading loss mitigation decisioning methodologies. In the last year, interest rates have gone up, and home price appreciation has slowed or begun to decline, with different markets telling different stories. Some economists are forecasting recession ahead or a slowing of economic growth with some borrowers already affected by job loss.
