Curinos experts Ken Flaherty and Rich Martin recently joined Chrisman Commentary, a mortgage industry podcast hosted by industry veteran Robbie Chrisman, to share insights.

Rocket is again getting ahead of FHFA by raising conforming loan limits early, potentially to around $853,400, giving lenders a competitive opportunity to capture incremental agency volume and pull borrowers from jumbo financing while weighing the funding, hedging, and basis risk of holding those loans until the new limits become officially deliverable. Robbie Chrisman interviews Ken and Rich on the growing home-equity opportunity, using speed as a competitive advantage, reaching the next generation of borrowers, and tracking key mortgage-market trends over the next year.
