The mortgage market remains one of the most challenging and closely watched sectors for credit union leaders.
Higher interest rates, affordability concerns, inventory shortages, fluctuating refinance activity and growing competition continue to reshape the lending landscape. At the same time, credit unions are looking for new ways to serve members, manage risk and uncover growth opportunities in a rapidly changing housing market.
Join CU Times for a special live edition of Inside the PRO Studio as we take a deep dive into today's mortgage environment and what it means for credit union executives.
Unlike a traditional webinar, this session will be structured as an interactive, radio-style discussion where the audience helps drive the conversation. Bring your questions, insights and challenges for a candid exchange with Credit Union Times journalists who closely follow economic trends, lending data and industry developments.
Discussion Topics Include:
- How higher interest rates continue to impact mortgage demand
- The outlook for rates and housing activity in the second half of 2026
- Strategies credit unions are using to grow mortgage portfolios
- First-time homebuyer challenges and opportunities
- Balancing mortgage growth with risk management
- The relationship between mortgage lending, deposits and member retention
- What credit union leaders should be watching in the months ahead
