One detail worth watching: single-family starts fell 9.9% in July, while single-family permits increased 2.5%. Starts tell us what just happened. Permits give us a window into what builders may be preparing for next.

Single family housing starts fell 9.9% in July.

You can’t control housing supply.
You can’t control Treasury yields.
You can’t control when rates fall.

You can control what happens after a borrower enters your pipeline.

That matters a lot more in this market.

Most operators assume they are somewhere in the middle. Very few have measured where they actually sit.
Where would your last four quarters put you? Where do you want to be for the next four quarters?

[Blake Boss @blaketoddboss]

Two mortgage companies. Same rates. Same guidelines. Same borrowers.

One earns 139 bps. The other loses 70.

A 200 basis point gap between the top and bottom 20 percent of lenders. It has held every quarter for ten years. Boom, crash, recovery. It does not close.

Where would your last four quarters put you?

Thread version if you want the full argument:

And here is the part that should bother you. It has been there in every quarter for the last ten years. Through the 2020 boom. Through the 2022 collapse. Through the recovery.
If it closed when volume came back, you could call it a rate problem. It does not close.
