April HECM endorsements were down a little from March but higher than a year ago, which brings the year to date tally to just -1.1% lower than last year. That figure was -3.6% in March and -5.5% in February, so on that front at least the trend is headed the right direction.
- Florida continues to lead the growth among top 10 states, now up 20.3% year to date
- Texas flipped to positive growth from last year in April, now up 1.9% year to date
- Arizona continues to grow stronger as well, up 3.6% year to date compared to 0.2% last month
Meanwhile, an interesting picture is developing in Southern California:
- Los Angeles city grew faster in April while the county’s growth rate dipped, as the growth became more localized
- Riverside county ramped up its growth rate to the southeast of LA, while its cousin San Bernardino to the north slowed down
- Harris county in Texas sports the highest growth rate among the top 10 counties in the nation, growing faster than its Houston city segment
