    About Terry Loebs
    Terry Loebs possesses more than 35 years of experience in the capital markets and in developing innovative data-driven products and services. He started his career on Wall Street evaluating and trading mortgage whole loans and servicing rights portfolios while earning his MBA at The New York University Stern School of Business.
    After joining the Case Shiller Weiss, Inc.

    Why legacy macroeconomic confidence indicators don’t include housing and why that matters

    What the Fannie Mae Home Price Expectations Survey tells us about the housing market for 2024 and beyond

    The surprising way that forecasters’ views for housing in 2024 are different than they have been for the last 15 years

    Why home prices have “downward stickiness”

    How forecasting long-term home prices is different from forecasting the next year and what to look for long term

    The one housing market indicator that 84% of expert panelists agree on

    Which risks are not yet priced into the housing market expectations

    The big macro economic trends that are potentially the most impactful for the housing market in the coming years.

  • In this episode of the Top of Mind podcast, Mike Simonsen sits down with Matt Graham from MBS Live and Mortgage News Daily. A former loan originator, Matt is one of the foremost technology innovators and market commentators in the mortgage industry. Matt talks about what to expect with mortgage rates for the rest of the year and into 2025, and offers keen insights into a variety of other economic indicators.
    About Matt Graham
    A former originator, Matt fell into the rabbit hole of following the bond market in order to better understand mortgage rate movement. While the systems available at the time were useful, they barely scratched the surface. They also ran the risk of teaching originators to focus on things that didn't really matter.
    So Matt set out to build something that solved both problems. In the 20 years that followed, Matt has proven to be the industry's foremost innovator in market data services designed specifically for mortgage originators. MBS Live continues to be the most trusted, most accurate, and most timely source of streaming bond prices, data and dialogue.
    Matt is routinely featured in the media as a mortgage rate expert and is responsible for helping several major media outlets modernize their mortgage rate reporting. He currently lives in the Pacific Northwest where he enjoys skiing, fishing, hunting, coaching youth sports, playing in the old guy league, and most of all, spending time with his family.
    Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: 

    Why everyone was fooled about rates for 2024

    What to look for with mortgage rates for the rest of the year and into 2025

    What to look for in the inflation data for the next few months

    Which other macroeconomic measures we should be watching

    How the Fed communicates, and how markets react to the Fed

    The latest dynamics of mortgage pricing, fees and points

    Why the last two years has been “tougher than the Great Financial Crisis” for mortgage lenders

    Why the 8% interest rate in September 2023 was probably “defensive panic” and unlikely to repeat

    How the post-Covid stimulus money is still reverberating in the economy and the markets today

    Whether there’s a threshold rate for where consumers start to buy homes

    His view of the imperative to “spread the wealth” of real estate in the US to more people, including those who are long term renters
