The Spokane, Wash., housing market has shown little signs of slowing during the pandemic.

With no way of knowing just how many borrowers will need the mods after the coronavirus forbearance period ends, lenders are deploying artificial intelligence and servicing protocols to tame the ferocious piles of paperwork awaiting them.

The rescue bill enabled banks to protect loans in forbearance from an immediate hit to a borrower’s credit report, but experts say affected consumers may have trouble getting loans after the pandemic ends.

The company's pricing of its secondary stock option partially alleviated worries about the need to obtain new funds and the risk of dilution for existing shareholders.

Coronavirus-related mortgages in forbearance grew 10 basis points between May 18 and May 24, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Home sales in April stayed healthy despite the Ohio stay-at-home order, but dropped by double digits compared to a year before at the same time.

Steps have been taken to manage coronavirus-related liquidity risks to the housing finance system, but some remain, according to Mortgage Bankers Association President and CEO Robert Broeksmit.

Aggregate numbers for coronavirus-related payment suspensions are showing more consistency as organizations clarify how they handle them, and some consumers' incentives to use them may be declining.

The social distancing related limitations on home appraisals is inspiring some companies to find new ways to advance the process.

Even after the Fed eased some limitations in April to promote emergency lending, the bank has had to make some “tough choices” to heed the $1.95 trillion growth ceiling set by regulators in the aftermath of its phony-accounts scandal.
