Mortgage rates last week rebounded, having dropped towards the end of July. As a result, mortgage demand was split, with refinancing applications moving higher while homebuyer applications fell, according to the latest data from the Mortgage Bankers Association.

The data shows that the average contract interest rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage with a conforming loan balance rose to 5.47% last week, up from 5.43% a week prior. That saw points rise to 0.80 from 0.65 for loans with a 20% down payment.

While the weekly average didn’t change much, daily moves were more dramatic.

Another read from Mortgage News Daily showed the average rate on the 30-year fixed jumping 45 basis points at the start of last week, then falling 41 basis points on Thursday and then jumping up again by 36 basis points. Mortgage rates don’t often move in such large increments.

That volatility was likely behind the gain in refinancing, which has been falling steadily since the start of this year. Those applications rose 4% for the week. Some may have been taking fast advantage of the drop in rates or were still hoping to get the lower offerings from previous weeks. Refinancing, however, is still down 82% from a year ago, when rates were right around 3%.

June saw the highest share of canceled purchase agreements since the start of the pandemic. The likely culprit: lending rates.

This week, our spotlight shines on Rishi Bakshi of Intero Real Estate Services East Bay in Fremont, California.

This week we travel down to Tampa, Florida, in search of the top real estate professionals in the region. As has been the process in past weeks, we rely on Google and Zillow ratings to isolate the agencies, then drill down to find out their digital and conventional marketing practices. Our methods continue to shift, but we’re homing in on ways consumers can quickly isolate and evaluate the professionals best capable of converting sales. We also found the same sad situation in Tampa, which we’ve run across in other medium-sized markets. With hundreds of agents to choose from, relatively few actually use all the available tools to service clients. Here’s this week’s list.

I almost missed Tampa, Florida’s most prolific agency. Were it not for the relative mediocrity of Andrew Duncan’s competitors, a slight flaw in my methodology would have left him off this list. You see, the 5-star/100 plus Google and Zillow criteria I established for previous lists do not cover all circumstances. The Duncan Duo team has one horrible review out of over 1,000, which takes their rating down to 4.8. So, it’s a good thing I went back to search Tampa agents for a superstar. Somehow, I knew there had to be a Tampa-St. Pete marketing hero out there.

Duncan has no peers in the realm of marketing, according to what I found. Facebook, Instagram, Inc. 500, almost 3,000 subscribers on a real estate Youtube channel, the guy needs a costume like Green Lantern. Seriously, in hundreds of reviews of real estate professionals nationwide, only a handful are as good. The only negative, I could find across this Tampa agent’s footprint is the fact his dentist made the man’s teeth too white. The smile from the guy will blind you even on Instagram. As you can tell from the share I use for his profile pic. If Duncan has one strike against him, it’s his ghastly ugly website, which does pass SEO with a score of 89/100. No seriously, this is the guy I’d get to sell my house in this region. I’m not alone in this assessment either. Duncan Duo has been the No. 1 Re/Max agent in Florida and the No. 8 team in the world, as well as having been endorsed by Barbara Corcoran (Shark Tank). Come on, the guy even has his own radio show.
