"I'm just saying we don't lack supply because, if you can't build it at an affordable price, then there's no demand, and people are reasonable and respond to economic stimulus. When asked about the psychological component behind affordability, Broeksmit said that some borrowers simply feel as if it's pointless to wait for lower rates due to the country's current fiscal performance."
"We want all capital sources to benefit, because we want all borrowers to benefit—not if you go to this kind of lender, you get a faster process or a cheaper one. They could lower the mortgage insurance premium, probably combined with tailoring some risk out of the layered risk, and that would also flow through super uniquely."
"If it's a relationship business, you probably need a human to relate to. So I think the lenders who will get this right will leverage the strength of their human relationships, and then, in the background, some of this stuff's getting done by AI so that humans can talk to people."
Housing supply constraints stem from construction costs rather than demand deficiency. Borrowers respond rationally to economic conditions but feel discouraged waiting for rate reductions given America's fiscal challenges. Policy interventions like extended mortgage terms or investor restrictions alone cannot solve affordability issues. Effective solutions require coordinated approaches including increased housing supply, improved mortgage credit access, and reduced mortgage insurance premiums combined with risk management. The mortgage industry must balance technological advancement with human relationships, using AI to enhance efficiency while maintaining personal service quality that borrowers value.
