Key Quotes (2)

“I want to talk about this market, right, understand where we're at. We know what's going on. I'm going to say some things you're going to say well that doesn't sound right, but it is right because I know this and I feel really good about where we're at right now as an industry. So I'm going to put a slide up here, I want you to remember this slide in two years and in five years and in eight years.”

“Right now, October 7th, 2023, is the best time in history to be a loan officer. It's the best time in history. You'll say what do you mean Matt, how is it the best time, rates are 7.5%? It's the best time in history to be a loan officer right this second. We've been through two years of rates going up, going up unexpectedly. We all thought when rates went up they'd go from 2.75 to three and a half”

About Mat Ishbia

Mat Ishbia, president and CEO of UWM Holdings, released his October and September 2026 editions of the "#3Points" video series, discussing recent industry changes and trends. In October, he praised FHFA Director Bill Pulte for implementing VantageScore 4.0 across Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, stating the change benefits consumers by providing an alternative scoring model that can yield higher scores and lower costs. He also commented on FHFA's push to ease mortgage insurance removal, noting it may help some borrowers reduce payments without refinancing, though he did not expect it to be a massive shift. Additionally, he highlighted $34.9 trillion in untapped home equity, suggesting it presents opportunities for cash-out refinances, HELOCs, and mortgage insurance removal, particularly for consumers carrying high-interest credit card debt. In September, Ishbia discussed potential tweaks to the CFPB's TRID rule, predicting minor modifications rather than sweeping changes, and credited the existing rules as generally effective. He also addressed FHFA's review of loan-level price adjustments (LLPAs), saying that while some adjustments could lower borrower costs, major reductions were unlikely and any changes would probably come later in the year. He further noted headwinds in condo financing due to recent GSE rule changes, including stricter insurance and reserve requirements, and suggested that alternative products and continued education could help address the challenges until rules are revised.
