HECM endorsements dropped -7% in May, reinforcing the lumpiness and uncertainty around HECM volumes after an encouraging April tally. Most of the larger regions declined but a few of the lower volume regions built on April gains:
- Midwest jumped 23.1% to 213 loans, its highest level since October (outside of the catchup boost in Feb)
- Great Plains rose 15.4% to 60 loans
- Mid-Atlantic gained 15.1% to 214 loans
Several lenders bloomed as well:
- Live Well is winding things down but managed 31.1% higher endorsements in May
- Longbridge jumped 21.4% to 68 loans, their highest month in over a year
- Synergy One rose 9.9% to 178 loans, also their highest in over a year (outside of Feb’s catchup)
