There’s a lot of hesitancy to enter into the online mortgage rate quoting marketplace. The perception has been that online quoting marketplace is primarily something used for refinance loans, which is a market that continues to trend downward as rates climb. However, there’s a key reason why online quoting will see use, and possibly even growth, in the future: millennials.

Why Millennials?

As millennials continue to enter the housing market, the majority of them are going to turn to online resources for their mortgage needs. According to Zillow Group’s Report on Consumer Housing Trends for 2017, 88% of millennial buyers use online resources when buying a home, and that having competitive rates and loan products that meet a buyer’s specific needs are still most important to buyers when deciding where to obtain their home financing. Quoting online addresses both of those needs – by putting your rates online, you can get them in front of all of the borrowers using online resources, allowing them to view your rates alongside other lenders.
