A quick recap: TRID (also known as the<\/strong> TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule<\/strong>) was created and was aimed\u00a0toward making mortgages more transparent and easier to understand for consumers.<\/p>\n

\"bar\"
\nLast month I reported that TRID made \u201cmodest improvement\u201d during the month of March<\/a>: \u201cThe average time-to-close as measured in days fell from 43.3<\/strong> in January to 39.9<\/strong> in February. The February year-over-year increase under TRID was a decline from the 5.2 additional days in January and the 5.7 day peak registered in December.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bigger baby steps<\/h2>\n

Fast-forward and it now looks as though lenders are adjusting to the TRID regulations and reducing time to close. Economists Outlook<\/a> now reports that, \u201cThere was a shift in the distribution of closing from February to March as well. The share of closing that took longer than 45 days fell from 45.0 percent to 43.8 percent. Conversely, the share that took less than 30 days slipped from 23.6 percent to 22.3 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Granted, it is difficult to follow the progress without a graphic (you can see it here<\/a>). That said, there was a shift in time to close to the 30 to 45-day range. The latest Economists Outlook Blog reports that \u201cThe decline in closing that took under 30 days and the increase in the middle range repeated the pattern from February to March of 2015 and was likely due to a seasonal increase in closing volume weighing on production resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moving forward<\/h2>\n

According to the Economists Outlook, \u201cThe March reading of time-to-close was another positive step in the post-TRID environment.\u201d Volumes will rise in the weeks and months ahead as the spring market peaks.<\/p>\n

Partnering with lenders who are collaborative and who have successfully navigated TRID without delays will help to assure smooth settlements as the year continues.<\/p>\n

This is good news for the industry (and consumers) indeed.<\/p>\n
