The Reserve Bank has decided to leave interest rates on hold today.But the governor is warning Inflation is still too high and if it doesn't come down another rate rise is inevitable.

www.marktreichel.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-treichel/Ryan Donovan, CEO of the Council of Federal Home Loan Banks, joins Mark Treichel to walk through what came out of the first Federal Home Loan Bank oversight hearing in 15 years — and what credit unions should take from it.The Federal Home Loan Bank System is not a well-known system, as Ryan puts it, so the testimony started with education: 11 banks serving 6,300 members — credit unions, banks, insurance companies, and community development financial institutions (CDFIs) — providing liquidity so those members can serve their own members, customers, and communities.On credit unions specifically, membership growth continues. A substantial portion of credit union assets is already inside the System; by member count, there is still room to grow among smaller institutions.Ryan explains the regulatory ask that matters most for liquidity managers: when regulators look at the liquidity coverage ratio and similar measures, Home Loan Bank advances should be treated as core liquidity, reflecting the System's reliability across its history. Those conversations have begun with the FDIC and will extend to the other member regulators, including the incoming chairman of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).He also draws the distinction credit unions sometimes blur: the Federal Reserve has limited lending authority — overnight lending, with limits on consecutive days and on days borrowed within a set period — while the Home Loan Bank is a daily liquidity provider, with its nexus to housing sitting in the collateral members bring, whether mortgages they originated or bought or mortgage-backed securities they hold.On interoperability — one of the two hard-to-pronounce words of the hearing, alongside countercyclical — Ryan describes the work that came out of the March 2023 lessons learned: encouraging members to establish and periodically test discount window lines, improving Fed and Home Loan Bank communication so the right people can reach each other at 6:00 on a Friday, negotiating master subordination agreements so collateral can move faster in a crisis, and proposing that the Fed accept a Home Loan Bank letter of credit on behalf of a member in stress to bridge from Friday's close to Monday's open. Mark connects this directly to staff turnover, including the roughly 27% of NCUA staff lost to buyouts, and what that does to a call tree.On housing, the banks are required by law to set aside 10% of the previous year's net earnings for the Affordable Housing Program (AHP). For the last two years they have contributed 50% more than required, putting more than $1 billion a year toward affordable housing. Ryan is candid about AHP's burden — 13 FHFA regulations and six advisory bulletins — and notes that FHFA under Director Pulte is overhauling it. He contrasts AHP dollars committed with voluntary program dollars already out the door, and warns against any change to the 10% statutory floor that would crowd out voluntary programs.The conversation closes on CDFI membership, low income housing tax credit (LIHTC) collateral that is reliable but hard to value, the subsidized programs Chicago, Boston, and Cincinnati run, H.R. 7647 and the community financial institution definition, and why insurance companies belong in the System at all.

The housing market appears to still be in favour of first-home buyers, with more than half of loans this year done at 20% equity. Cotality data shows up to 60% of recent lending has been on a two-year fixed rate, up from less than 20% in November last year. In June, around 16% of lending went to owner-occupiers with less than a 20% deposit. Cotality chief economist Kelvin Davidson told Mike Hosking house prices have fallen so low, the risk of negative equity has pretty much disappeared.

Other banks are expected to follow suit as ANZ drops its mortgage rates from today. Its standard one-year fixed home loan rate's dropping by 14 basis points to 5.25%, while the two and three-year rates will be cut by 20 basis points. The move comes after Westpac cut its longer-term home loan rates last week. Loan Market CEO Bruce Patten told Mike Hosking banks are all a bit quiet at the moment. The mortgage advisor says they had a really busy period before Christmas and then the Iran war kicked off in February, so he thinks the move is an attempt to stir up business.

Patrick McKenzie reads from his 2022 Bits About Money essay on mortgages, making the case that a mortgage is best understood as a manufactured product, not a simple loan between a bank and a customer. He walks through the assembly line behind every home loan, the loan officer and back-office staff who build the 700-page document. Then he traces the supply chain it gets sold into, where GSEs insure against non-payment risk, servicers buy the right to collect monthly checks, and pension funds and other private capital end up holding the economic exposure, because they want it more than banks do.–Full transcript available here: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/mortgages/ –Presenting Sponsors: Mercury & Granola Complex Systems is presented by Mercury—radically better banking for founders.

Most people buying a mobile home in California go through the manufactured home park approval process and never saw it coming. They got approved by the lender. They had the down payment. And then the park said no.There are a lot of moving parts to mobile home financing California buyers almost always underestimate. The interest rates are higher than a traditional loan. The terms are shorter. Space rent counts against your debt-to-income ratio. And there are two completely separate approvals you have to pass, one with the lender and one with the park itself. Most buyers only know about one of them.In this episode, I brought back Michael Yates to break down exactly how manufactured home loans in California work, what the real requirements are, and what can quietly kill your deal before you even know it's in trouble.Here is what we cover:✅ Why the manufactured home park approval can reject you even after your lender says yes✅ The June 15, 1976 cutoff date that changes everything about your manufactured home down payment✅ How manufactured home interest rates compare to traditional loans and what to expect✅ What space rent on a mobile home actually is and why it affects your loan qualification✅ How to get as little as 5% down with no PMI on a mobile home on lease land✅ Whether FHA, VA, or conventional loans work for these properties (the answer will surprise you)✅ What documents you need and how manufactured home loan requirements differ from a standard mortgage✅ Why buying in cash does not mean you skip the park approval, this one catches people off guardIf you are seriously looking at a manufactured home as an affordable option to stay in California, keep that in mind before you fall in love with a unit. Know the rules first. This episode gives you all of them.

Home lending is on the rise – up 17.5% in the six months to December. The Banking Association's latest report also shows almost a quarter of new loans going to first home buyers. Chief Executive Roger Beaumont says it's encouraging, because a few years ago they were thought to be locked out of the property market. He told Mike Hosking that there's been a relatively flat housing market, combined with a significant reduction in interest rates. Beaumont says that in 2023, those on a twelve-month mortgage were paying over 7%, but today they're paying under 5%. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has launched a fair-housing investigation into the Washington State Housing Finance Commission's Covenant Homeownership Program. This program, created to address historical housing discrimination, offers 0% interest loans for down payments and closing costs to racial minorities. The investigation, triggered by a letter obtained by The Center Square, questions whether the program violates the Fair Housing Act by discriminating based on race and ancestry. HUD's assistant secretary, Craig Trainor, likened the program to 'Animal Farm,' suggesting some Washingtonians are being treated as 'more equal than others.' The program distributed $60.2 million in loans in its first year, funded by a real estate document recording fee. The expansion of eligibility raises further questions about fairness and equal opportunity in housing.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Simon Baloyi, CEO of Sasol about the group’s half-year results as it navigates weaker oil and chemicals prices. While earnings declined and impairments weighed on profit, production at Secunda rose 10% and cost discipline supported positive free cash flow for the first time in four years. In other interviews, Gerhard van der Merwe, consumer law attorney at Trudie Broekmann Attorneys talks about a landmark High Court case challenging banks’ long-standing use of sales in execution. Lawyer Douglas Shaw is seeking to certify a class action, alleging that homes in arrears were sold for amounts just sufficient to settle outstanding debt, potentially below market value. Major banks deny wrongdoing, saying repossessions are a legal last resort, and are opposing both the certification and Shaw’s conduct. The case could have significant implications for foreclosure law and consumer rights in South Africa. The Money Show is a podcast hosted by well-known journalist and radio presenter, Stephen Grootes.
