HECM endorsements fell -7.3% in October to 4,332 loans. The continued decline shows the impact of Financial Assessment implementation earlier this year as the pre-implementation pipeline of loans has almost entirely worked its way through the endorsement process.
Surprisingly, 6 of the 10 regions we track actually increased on the month, but it’s hard to see the industry grow when the top 2 regions shrank so much. Pacific/Hawaii endorsement volume alone has been cut in half in just the past two months.
