2020 brought a lot of surprises and unforeseen circumstances to the world. One bright light through the year was the housing market and its ability to rebound quickly as United States experienced economic and social struggles due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The housing market has seen record growth, even after briefly being put on hold in the spring months. As we look back at 2020, historically low interest rates helped homeowners take advantage of refinance opportunities and home buyers take advantage of purchase opportunities.
These market conditions fueled growth in the mortgage industry, and Churchill Mortgage was able to hire at a rapid pace. In fact, Churchill doubled the number of employees from 2019, to help meet the needs of our customers. As a company, Churchill Mortgage experienced 100% growth in volume in 2020.
“Thanks to our team of hardworking, caring employees and innovative services, we were able to help our customers capitalize on the low interest rate environment and guide them through refinancing and purchasing new homes. 2020 was an unprecedented year and we are proud of how we handled the uncertainty for both our employees and customers. We look forward to continued success in 2021 and beyond,” stated Mike Hardwick, President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board, Churchill Mortgage.
