- Purchase and Refi Demand Diverge Againby Mortgage News Daily on May 30, 2025 at 9:43 pm

“Rob, what are the odds that the MBA will set up a ‘Man Park’ at the big conference in Las Vegas in October?” Slim to none. The United States is an interesting place. We’re approaching the summer, and last week Steve Pruitt reminded me that New Jersey is pretty much the only place where […]
