HECM endorsements declined in March without the tailwind from loans built up during the government shutdown. The decline was fairly balanced, with Retail dropping -36.1% while Wholesale shed -35.1%.
All of the top 10 lenders dropped, so let’s dig further to see smaller originators that overcame the industry decline:
- The Federal Savings Bank jumped 366.7% to 14 loans and #23 on the month
- Ocean Lending grew 150% to 10 loans and a tie for 27th place in our rankings
- C2 also tied for 27th, doubling up on the month to 10 loans
