October volume

[Alsie35]

Same as usual. pretty busy month then a slow month or 2 then a busy month.

been that way since rates went up after the china virus.

Yeah, this year has been up and down. Currently running at 1/2 of August (Not here in September). Overall this is shaping up as our slowest year since 2014. Still OK, though. Next year - depends on the rates and how fast the "Appraisal Turnaround Killer UAD 3.6 Abomination" is adopted by the lenders.

Playing catch up after a week in the tropics the last week of September for an overdue vacation. Had a busy first week in October, then a slow week. With a lone wolf shop the math/market is always confusing.... too busy one week, not busy enough the next. I think tariffs give people a reason to delay refis due to typical human uncertainty. When it slows down I come in here and search for USPAP infractions in posts. I've found 5 this week, 1 in this thread. I've tried to warn you boys that the USPAP police are always watching and taking names. I take that part of my business very seriously although it's only a sideline. Next week my focus will be on Dallas/Fort Worth members.

You would be hard pressed as I was out of town this week visiting Orlando and walking 7 miles a day with my grandkids.

But it is really busy mid-month every month and dying at the end of every month.

If appraisers don't adopt it then lenders won't.

If appraisers don't adopt it then lenders won't.

Without a union, that unfortunately is a pipe dream. But I'm not even going to look at it until the 1004s are officially retired. I really really hope that there are going to be some major rate drops next year, not just for the obvious reason, but because if it happens after May as is likely, it will almost certainly force them to extend the deadline for the transition, so that the entire real estate market isn't brought to screeching halt.

Till then my advice to appraisers is what Nancy Reagan said: "Just say No"

You picked a great time to go, a neighbor of mine went a couple weeks ago and she said there no lines and the place was half empty. Out of curiosity, did you happen to see a guy wandering around in a vintage Mickey Mouse T-Shirt talking about his Tesla?

Teslas are affordable having average price of $54,000 considering the average cost of a new car now is $50,000.

This was a "Universal" trip. Although, I bet I rival the Tesla's Disney count. My kids thought we were supposed to go there every year.

Calculate how long it would take you to drive a Tesla to Orlando?
