Hi, I’m Adam DeSanctis. This is the Mortgage Minute, the latest news from the Mortgage Bankers Association. Next Thursday, March 6, at 3 PM Eastern Time, MBA President and CEO Bob Broeksmit and other MBA leaders are hosting a town hall webinar on the latest developments under the Trump administration and MBA’s ongoing work on them. Attendees can send questions beforehand to first100daysatmba.org. The webinar for members only gives us the opportunity to share with you how we remain actively engaged with the senior appointees and key staff in place. Federal agencies that impact the industry and that we continue to advocate for the continuation of programs and policies that benefit the real estate finance market, borrowers and the industry that we’re recommending sensible changes that lower the cost of lending, promote competition and pass savings along to prospective homeowners and renters, and ensure the continued support for commercial multifamily investment, as well as single family and warning against any potential actions that would lead to disruptions in the single family and commercial multifamily markets. Go to mba.org/webinars to register for the March 6th Town Hall. That’s it for this week. Thank you for listening.
