The Mortgage Bankers Association projects total mortgage originations will reach $1.397 trillion in 2025, with existing-home sales declining. Elevated mortgage rates are expected due to trade policies and consumer sentiment issues. Still, there's significant opportunity in underserved markets, particularly among Hispanic and Latino borrowers. This demographic is driving homeownership growth, with their ownership rate increasing to 49.5% in 2023. A focus on these markets can help loan officers find success amidst competitive challenges, particularly with the rise of multigenerational households and youthful buyers, enhancing both demand and commission potential.
Despite the uncertain mortgage landscape, a shift in focus to underserved markets, especially Hispanic and Latino borrowers, offers substantial business opportunities for professionals.
With Hispanic homeownership at 49.5%, and a majority of families being multigenerational, the potential for increased loan amounts and commissions in this demographic is significant.
