What We’re Seeing

The Groundfloor Asset Management team is working with borrowers to keep their projects moving in the right direction. The below highlights some team adjustments as well as some observations we are seeing in the marketplace:

Improved repayment volumes over the past few months as rate movement stabilizes and eases slightly.
The housing market remains incrementally complex since the pandemic. With uncertainty surrounding home prices, fluctuating mortgage rates, and shortages of inventory throughout the country, Groundfloor remains committed to working with borrowers to provide support and guidance where needed.
Draw requests remain elevated compared to previous periods which continues to reflect strong borrower activity, especially amongst new construction loans.
