HECM endorsements rose 17.7% in February to 4,579 loans, putting a disappointing January result in the rear view mirror. Concerns about post-FA volume levels look a little less scary coming off the highest volume since September.
The volume growth was strong in 9 of the 10 regions we track across the nation and several lenders did well too:
- Northwest/Alaska rose the most at 46.8%, followed by Southwest at 35% and Rocky Mountain at 30.7%
- Liberty caught up after several months of depressed volume, rising 68.4% to 490 loans
- Denver (45%), Seattle (26.5%) and Reno (40.5%) are all doing well so far this year
