Risk Trends Mortgage Brokers Should Be Watching in 2026
2025 reminded us how quickly market conditions can shift. Falling real estate values, economic uncertainty, borrower affordability pressures, and unreasonable expectations are influencing how risk is showing up across the mortgage industry. Many of the challenges facing brokers today are familiar, but their frequency, complexity, and consequences are evolving faster than ever. As these pressures continue to evolve, are you seeing where risk is actually emerging in your day-to-day work? CMBA ON has partnered with PROLINK for an exclusive webinar that takes a closer look at the major risks and trends shaping the industry—and what they mean in practice.
