HECM endorsements rose 24.1% in August to 4,387 loans in a welcome reprieve from the prior three months below the 4,000 loans/month level.
Volume was up across the board in all 10 regions, with the biggest jump in Rocky Mountain at 54.8% to 356 loans and that region’s highest monthly total in over 12 months.
Our top 10 lenders were a bit more varied, with only 7 of 10 growing but also some real standouts:
- Reverse Mortgage Funding jumped 74.2% to 460 loans, good enough for third place on the month
- Finance of America Reverse was just behind at 73.8% growth to 518 loans
- High Tech Lending continues bounced back 71.3% to 137 loans from a disappointing July total to resume their impressive rise this year
