“We’re playing this game where forecasts on volume and rates just keep getting pushed back a couple quarters, and that’s a tough reality…I’m taking a lens in 2024 that I am not making any major bets or planning my business around a significantly lower rate environment in 2024. What I am planning around is the difference between low rates and volatile rates…volatility in rates is actually a bigger driver of applications in mortgage production than the actual rates itself. The driver there is psychology.” – Clayton Collins
