Notary Signing Business Craters … Expect More Slowing Down

This notary signing agent has discovered that his business has cratered and he had no backup to the backup. Notary signings will continue to trend down as mortgage rates increase.

The mortgage market cratered in the fourth quarter of 2013, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase reported on Tuesday, as higher interest rates all but murdered demand for mortgage refinancing.

The nation’s biggest mortgage lender, Wells Fargo, said its mortgage volume tumbled to $50 billion in the quarter, down 60 percent from $125 billion a year ago. The second-biggest lender, JPMorgan Chase, said its mortgage originations, that includes new home purchases and refinancings, fell 54 percent to $23.3 billion from $51.2 billion a year ago.
