In today’s episode, we look at the latest government shutdown impacts on mortgage. Plus, Robbie sits down with Truework’s Randy Lightbody for a discussion on the Fed’s recent rate cut and its impact on borrower behavior, what lenders should watch for, how homebuyers might respond to lower rates, and the critical role of integration and automation in building a more efficient, sustainable path to homeownership. And we close by examining what to look forward to on this week's economic calendar if the government stays shutdown.
