HECM Originators – May 2018

May’s HECM endorsements rose 0.2% in what we now know was a small calm before the further drop in June.

Fittingly, 5 of the top 10 lenders rose in the mostly unchanged month and as always, some made the most of the choppiness:

  • Live Well jumped 39.7% to 176 loans, reclaiming much of the drop in April
  • Longbridge rose 22.7% to 146 loans, almost doubling their May 2017 level
  • And AAG rose 12.4% at the top of the table, to 1,050 loans

Look out for this report each month as the most accurate reflection of origination loan counts available!
