HECM endorsements dropped again in May, down -3.6% to 4,854 loans. This was a smaller drop than April and paints a picture of gradual decline from the March high.
For context, it’s also above any other month from September 2015 through February 2017 so still a step above where the industry has been since financial assessment was implemented.
On that note, on to the details:
- We again saw just 2 of the 10 regions increase in volume, with Southwest rising 7.8% and Rocky Mountain up 0.5%
- Live Well jumped 29.3% to 172 loans and their best showing since September
- Nationwide Equities grew 19.8% to 115 loans
- Synergy One climbed 7.4% to 246 loans
