However, the consensus among mortgage professionals remains that the presidential election may not drastically alter the course for lenders and mortgage origination activities. Changes in interest rates, regulatory burdens, real estate transactions, government control over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and tax policy are among the key areas analyzed in this scenario.
