Aged Refinance Leads: Why They're the Most Undervalued Leads in Mortgage
Most loan officers think of aged leads as a purchase lead play: buy a list of people who were shopping for a home 60–90 days ago, call them, and see who's still looking.
But there's a segment of aged mortgage leads that almost everyone overlooks: refinance leads. And they might be the highest-ROI aged leads you can buy.
Why Refinance Leads Age Differently
Purchase leads have a natural expiration. The buyer either found a home or stopped looking. After 90 days, most purchase leads are dead.
Refinance leads are fundamentally different. A homeowner who requested a refinance quote 90 days ago didn't stop being a homeowner. They didn't stop having a mortgage. They may have:
- Gotten busy and never followed through
- Received a rate they didn't love and decided to wait
- Been told they didn't qualify and assumed that was permanent
- Started the process with another lender and it fell apart
