. >> brinkman predicted home sales will rise 11% from this year. and that will show up -- and that will show up as well in a 12% increase in purchase originations. but he says refis in 2010 will decline 40% after a 60% surge this year. that's all thanks to mortgage rates which he believes will climb out of their record lows to end at 5.6%. mortgage rates will depend heavily on how the fedex tracts itself from buying fannie and freddie loans. >> i think there are a lot of people at the federal reserve looking at that same question right now. we're looking at it also. but the potential there is adding minimum perhaps a 20 basis point uptick in mortgage rates, and some of the estimates ranging considerably higher than that, if the transition is not adequately managed. >> brinkman is also concerned about the jumbo loan market which he called frozen right now. a great story on the las vegas real estate market. >> thank you, diana. >>> we heard earlier from the ceo on financial regulation, attending this big conference in new york. attending this big ko
