HECM Trends – January 2018

The new year started with a bang, showing a spike in endorsements driven by FHA’s HECM product changes that took effect October 2.

From a geographic perspective, there was significant disparity around the country even with the strong growth nationally:

  • Oregon banged out 212.7% growth on the month compared to Jan 2017, to 222 loans
  • Portland, OR had an impressive 161.1% jump but was bested by Seattle at 181.8% among top 10 cities
  • The county and zip code lists were all dominated by the west, with nothing east of CO in either list
