HECM Originators – March 2017

March saw the biggest HECM volume month in quite some time, rising 21.2% from February. This month’s edition of HECM Originators gives us a little more insight into that strength:

  • Wholesale/broker volume jumped 26.3% to 2,606 loans and the closest we’ve seen to parity with Retail/direct in recent memory
  • Retail/direct volume gained a healthy 16.7% to 2,749 loans

Lenders and originators also saw significant gains in March:

  • Finance of America increased 89.6% to close the gap on longtime leader AAG (page 2)
  • Aegean Financial was up 300% to 24 loans
  • United Pacific popped 250% to 14 loans

Don’t forget to check out the rankings on page 3 (trailing twelve months with channel splits) and page 4 (single month retail only). If your company is not an FHA approved lender, these are the only industry rankings where you’ll appear!
