In 2020, a homebuyer could lock in a 30-year fixed interest rate of under three percent, whereas in 2024, the average rate for the same mortgage type exceeded 6.6 percent.

Mortgage originations in the United States plummeted in 2021 and 2022, after soaring to an all-time high in the previous two years. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the value of new mortgage originations amounted to 494 billion U.S. dollars, about 200 billion U.S. dollars higher than the dip in the first quarter of 2023. These fluctuations were mostly because of the development of mortgage interest rates and mortgage lending for home refinance: While interest rates were at a record low in 2020, many homebuyers used the opportunity to refinance their loan. After rates increased, refinancing declined dramatically. How have home sales developed? Over the past decade, the annual number of homes sold in the U.S. ranged between 4.7 million and 6.9 million, with the number of sales of existing homes far outweighing that of newly built homes sold.

For those who can afford it, a cash purchase provides a number of benefits. Most importantly, cash buyers save from mortgage payments. Additionally, the closing time on these transactions time faster, which gives a competitive advantage in markets with a lot of competition.

US loan brokers encountered revenue declines over the past five years as high interest rates increased borrowing costs and hindered demand for loans and a weakened residential market hindered demand for mortgages. The significant rise in the 30-year conventional mortgage rate over the past five years slowed housing starts and existing home sales as borrowing costs increased and loan demand fell. However, interest rate cuts in the latter part of the period will reduce borrowing costs and increase demand for loans, helping to limit revenue losses for the industry. Interest rate cuts are expected to be cut further in 2025. In addition, loan brokers will continue to contend with educated consumers attracted to the easy lending processes popularized by online lenders. Also, access to credit has climbed during the current period, which has limited revenue declines as consumers were able to increasingly borrow during the high interest rate environment. Overall, industry revenue declined at a CAGR of 4.1% to $16.6 billion over the five years to 2025. Industry revenue is also anticipated to decline 0.6% in 2025 alone, with profit falling to 10.2% of revenue in the same year. Loan originations for new homes and remodeling declined due to the persistent high interest rate environment. High interest rates discouraged consumers from taking on new loans amid the skeptical economic outlook. Since loan brokers generate revenue through commission or on a fee basis, the decrease in loan originations contributed to falling revenue generation and profit, measured as earnings before interest and taxes. Profit has been under pressure as industry wages have begun to outpace revenue growth. As this trend continues into the outlook period, profit will be constrained. Over the next five years, revenue for loan brokers is set to grow at a CAGR of 0.7% to $17.2 billion over the five years to 2030. Rekindling consumer confidence and greater access to credit will be the predominant drivers of industry growth over the coming years. In addition, the growth rate will climb as the Federal Reserve is anticipated to make further rate cuts at the onset of the outlook period. Demand for new loans will be strong, with the lending market being accommodating by historical standards.
