    Nice to see this loan activity info, but I think you need to change the incorrect title.

    As for the bump up in refi activity in Nov, lucky folks saved themselves up to 50 basis points by not waiting any longer. Expect refi activity to drop drastically going forward. Such slowing has already been reported on a national basis.

    Expect sales to slow a bit as well, as buyers become acclimatized to the higher rates (esp. at this time of the year). That said, I think rates won’t go much higher, and may decline a bit, going forward. Trillions by the Fed will guarantee that in the short term, but as for the longer term, be careful out there.

    Merry Christmas to all.

    In reno for the day for a job interview. What a great town. Love it here. Hopefully, I get the job and I will most definitely buy a house. Views of Mt. Rose are dirt cheap.
