The decline came after President\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0said on social media that he is instructing mortgage giants\u00a0Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac\u00a0to buy $200 billion in mortgage bonds.<\/p>\n<p>Rocket&#8217;s advantage stems from its ability to retain customers by tightly linking mortgage servicing and origination, the CEO said. Rocket keeps relationships intact through its servicing platform, allowing it to recapture borrowers when they return to the market for a home purchase or cash out refinance, he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When they&#8217;re ready for their next purchase, when they&#8217;re ready for a cash out refinance, Rocket is there with a great experience, powered by AI. And because of that, we&#8217;re able to retain our clients, whereas other players simply lose the asset,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p> Krishna said Rocket is optimistic about the broader housing outlook. Industry forecasts point to mortgage market growth of as much as 25% through 2026, while existing home sales could rise by up to 10% as affordability improves and pent-up demand returns, he noted. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rocket Companies shares jumped on Tuesday after CEO Varun Krishna told CNBC the company was writing a larger amount of mortgage loans. &#8220;We&#8217;re getting ready for our earnings call here in just a couple of weeks, and I will share with this group that we&#8217;re on track to produce the highest mortgage loan production in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2832,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[806,533,282,737,153,1789,689,2748,1837],"class_list":["post-2831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-loan","tag-ceo","tag-companies","tag-jump","tag-loan","tag-mortgage","tag-rocket","tag-shares","tag-surging","tag-volume"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/finzexpert.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/finzexpert.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/finzexpert.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/finzexpert.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/finzexpert.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2831"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/finzexpert.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2831\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/finzexpert.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2832"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/finzexpert.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/finzexpert.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/finzexpert.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
