And now it’s clear that we’re in a post 10/2 world for HECM endorsements. Volume declined -17.3% to 4,300 loans in March, the lowest level since July. It will get worse before it gets better.
Eight of the top ten regions declined, with Pacific/Hawaii suffering the most – a level of symmetry given the region saw the largest gains in the endorsement surge of the past few months.
Lenders fared a bit better, with 3 of the top 10 registering gains:
- Live Well gained 34.7% to 167 loans
- Nationwide Equities rose 34% to 63 loans
- One Reverse inched up 3.2% to 261 loans
