HECM endorsements declined -3.1% in April to 4,497 loans from March. The decline was fairly broad based and reflects some weakness in fundings during the first months of the year.
- 7 of the 10 regions declined in the month, with an eighth going sideways – and that was the smallest volume region (Great Plains)
- New England grew 21.4% but that mostly reflects declines in Feb/Mar as it remains below the Jan level
- Southwest grew 5.9% in a bounce back from a big drop in March
Among lenders, several stood out with strong results in April:
- Reverse Mortgage Funding jumped 82.4% to their highest total in their history and continuing to close the gap in run rates with the top 5 lenders
- RMS/Security One grew 16.9% after two slower months
- Live Well rose 15.8% to their highest total in recent history
