There’s a over abundance of homes inventory and home builders like Lennar Home Builders and DR HORTON is panicking and is forecasting a loss in 2025. The current state, with a significant surplus of homes combined with the forecast from some major builders such as DR Horton and Lennar, paints a distinct picture of the future housing market. Here is a comprehensive breakdown of the consequences this trend would have:
Market Analysis
Surplus:
There are extreme cases where entire new construction markets have homes sitting there for sale. This is a familiar occurrence. However, it is on the rise. This on-the-rise surplus increases sellers’ competition, causing them to often engage in price cuts.
Builder’s Predictions:
In the past, most major builders had their sights set on profits. However, builders such as Lennar and DR Horton are now predicting deficits shortly, which was different from the norm then. This serves as a measurement gauge of consumer demand, property interest rate, and other underlying economic factors. This paints a future sales downturn, which wouldn’t surprise us as it will affect sales revenue.
Why There’s an Outcry:
Allegations of the Projection Numbers Being Overinflated:
With time, mortgage rates have hit the roof, and new listings are pushed under the mortgage umbrella daily. Demand has to fall, and it has. Homes are at an all-time high price paired with economic instability; buyer trust further dwindled as they would postpone the purchase altogether.
Overall Economic Stability:
Economic health and expectations can greatly impact consumers. With inflation accompanied by heightened fears of recession, there is so much that consumers can do. Thus, the impact is grim as buyers start putting off purchasing even more homes. However, it can also lead to increased levels of inventory.
Transforming Buyer Values:
As the landscape of remote work progresses, buyers may prefer different styles of properties or a new site, pushing the demand for specific developers or areas in a certain direction.
Consequences for Home Builders
Decrease In Prices:
To sell units may lead to a decrease in prices or participation in incentivizing activities such as providing financial assistance to cover closing costs or upgrades. This might affect profit margins.
Delays In Building Work:
If the predictions come to fruition, contractors might be forced to cut back on new buildings to curtail further oversupply. This could create job losses in construction and affect chain industries.
Shifts In The Market:
After such extended periods characterized by an oversupply of stock and falling housing prices, the vendor’s housing market is likely to be unstable. Builders might be required to change their priorities regarding marketing techniques, consumers, and current market trends.
Heightens Anxiety Cross-Border Competition:
As builders aim to clear off supplied inventory, smaller builders might find it difficult to compete against larger companies since the latter can offer cost-effective measures or incentives of some kind.
Future Command
Chance Of Recovery:
Suppose the macroeconomic factors, including interest rates, are in equilibrium and the general economic situation is favorable. In that case, demand levels might increase, thereby working to reduce the stock surplus. Builders who manage to readjust themselves to market variations will perform better.
Changes in Construction Practices:
Homebuilders might start looking to erect affordable housing complexes aimed at work-from-home buyers.
Effect on House Prices:
The outlook for home prices is quite gloomy. If exclusionary trends are unchecked and builders keep undercutting the competition, they may eventually be on par with previous cycles.
The perspective of excess supply coupled with the expected losses of key builders Lennar and DR Horton points to the housing market’s deep challenges today. The near-term effects include a reduction in prices and the level of construction, and the long-term effect is influenced by the economy’s growth, the transformation of customer demands, and the ability of home builders to work in the changed market environment. In the changing environment, home buyers may have more choices and get them at a better price.

Have you heard of KARMA? There is a percentage of cops who think they are above the law and have a humongous ego problem. Unfortunately, there is a percentage of kids who have been bullied in high school and beaten up, and their life dream is to become police officers. With a mission to become cops, they somehow beat the system, worm their way into the hiring process, and get hired as cops. As cops, they bully the public, and they use the power given to them and abuse their powers. Eventually, they do something stupid on the job, and karma gets them back. Watch the attached video about cops whose egos backfire on them big time.

Thank you for bringing up this topic. Getting approved for the Illinois NMLS MLO (Mortgage Loan Originator) and Company licenses involves several steps. Here’s an overview of the process based on general requirements as of my last update:
For Individual MLO License:
Pre-licensure Education: Complete 20 hours of NMLS-approved education. This includes 3 hours of Illinois state-specific content.
NMLS Test: Pass the National SAFE MLO Test with Uniform State Content.
Application: Apply the NMLS system. Pay the required fees.
Background Check: Submit fingerprints for a criminal background check. Authorize a credit report.
Financial Responsibility: While Illinois is relatively lenient on credit issues, applicants should be prepared to explain any financial issues.
Sponsorship: Secure sponsorship from a licensed mortgage company.
For Company License:
Application: Submit a Company (MU1) Form through NMLS.
Financial Requirements: Provide financial statements. Meet minimum net worth requirements.
Surety Bond: Obtain a surety bond based on loan volume.
Designated Qualifying Individual: Appoint a qualifying individual with the required experience.
Business Plan: Submit a detailed business plan.
Policies and Procedures: Develop and submit written policies and procedures.
Office Requirements: Establish a physical office location in Illinois.
Background Checks: Control persons must undergo background checks.
Fees: Pay all required licensing fees.
Key Points: Processing times can vary, but as you mentioned, individual licenses often process faster than company licenses. Requirements can change, so checking the NMLS and Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation websites for the most current information is crucial. While Illinois may be more lenient on credit issues, applicants should still be prepared to address any financial concerns. Ongoing education and compliance are required to maintain licenses. Remember, while obtaining the license is important, maintaining ethical standards and complying with all relevant laws and regulations is crucial for long-term success in the mortgage industry.

The Dan Bongino and Bill O’Reilly saga continues: Dan Bongino recently expressed his anger towards Bill O’Reilly due to comments O’Reilly made on his show. Bill O’Reilly called Bongino a “fanatic” after Bongino stated that even Democrats do not want illegal immigrants to vote. Bongino took offense to this characterization and responded strongly on his platform, defending his stance and criticizing O’Reilly’s perspective. O’Reilly’s critique likely stemmed from his perception of Bongino’s rhetoric as overly extreme or divisive. This type of public disagreement is common in the media landscape, especially among high-profile commentators with strong opinions on sensitive issues like immigration and voting rights. For more detailed information on their exchange and the specific context of their comments, you can refer to the latest episodes of both Bill O’Reilly’s “No Spin News” and “The Dan Bongino Show” on platforms like Rumble and TuneIn.

Tiny Homes will be the wave of the future. More people are interested in buying tiny homes. Financing is a problem. Most lenders don’t want to lend lower than $150,000 loan amount.
