Damn right…

[Andy Zankel @TitleTechNY]

The best title work doesn’t show up at closing.

It shows up in everything that didn’t become a problem.

Most of it happens long before anyone sits at the table.

[Core Title Services @CoreTitleNY]

This aligns with what we have seen the last few months.
Big uptick in commercial activity due to loans from 2021 maturing. Loans from before 2021 that have previously been extended now are coming due and need to refi or sell.

[Odeta Kushi @odetakushi]

Fewer CRE loans are being extended, and more are moving toward resolution, whether through refinancing, asset sales, restructurings, or defaults. For CRE borrowers, the era of ‘extend and pretend’ is giving way to ‘resolve or reset.’

Another awesome Core closing.
Congrats to the borrowers!

[Xander Snyder @XanderSnyderX]

Are “life events” kick-starting a housing market recovery? After years of subdued activity, the U.S. housing market may finally be inching toward normalcy. As @odetakushi explains in her latest analysis, First American’s Real House Price Index is indicating that easing mortgage rates and modest affordability gains are nudging more buyers back into the market, with mortgage applications up 8 percent month-over-month and 19 percent year-over-year.

Still, many homeowners remain locked-in by ultra-low pandemic-era rates, keeping inventory tight. So, what’s moving the needle? The inevitable milestones of life — marriage, growing families, job changes, and divorce — continue to drive housing demand even in challenging conditions.

The takeaway? The road back to a balanced market will be gradual, powered less by speculation and more by necessity.

Honored to share that I’ve earned the @ALTAonline National Title Professional (NTP) designation.
With only ~120 NTPs nationwide (and just 4 in New York), I’m proud to join such a small, dedicated group of professionals working to uphold the highest standards in title insurance.
