March saw the biggest HECM volume month in quite some time, rising 21.2% from February. This month’s edition of HECM Originators gives us a little more insight into that strength:
- Wholesale/broker volume jumped 26.3% to 2,606 loans and the closest we’ve seen to parity with Retail/direct in recent memory
- Retail/direct volume gained a healthy 16.7% to 2,749 loans
Lenders and originators also saw significant gains in March:
- Finance of America increased 89.6% to close the gap on longtime leader AAG (page 2)
- Aegean Financial was up 300% to 24 loans
- United Pacific popped 250% to 14 loans
