**Excerpt:**
*”Rocket Mortgage’s staggering $11 billion bid could revolutionize the way Americans buy homes—streamlining everything from mortgage approvals to closings under one digital umbrella. As the spring housing market heats up, the move puts pressure on competitors and raises big questions: Will consolidation bring convenience or stifle competition? For buyers, the promise of a faster, simpler process is enticing, but experts caution against the risks of one company dominating such a critical market. The future of homebuying may hinge on this high-stakes gamble.”*
