Insights from MBA CREF: “A Real Sense of Optimism” Going into 2020 (VIDEO)

Among borrowers, “there’s a real sense of optimism” heading into 2020, said Gantry Inc. principal George Mitsanas. That’s especially in comparison to the prevailing sentiment felt by borrowers and lenders alike a year ago, when it appeared that interest rates would begin a slow, steady climb.

In the video below, Mitsanas shared his insights for Connect Media at the Mortgage Bankers Association’s 2020 MBA CREF conference in San Diego earlier this month. With forecasts ranging from status quo expectations to a hint of caution until the 2020 elections are finalized, you’ll also hear from Hunt Real Estate Capital’s Vic Clark, Money360’s Gary Bechtel and NorthMarq’s Joe Giordani.
