HECM endorsements rose 4.8% in October, continuing the up and down gyrations as we head into year end. Active lenders grew 6.6% in the month, with a net increase of 12 companies endorsing at least one loan in the month.
As might be expected with such a minor volume increase, the story was mixed when you dive into the details:
- 7 of the 10 regions grew, including a 50% rise in Rocky Mountain and 33.5% in Southwest
- Conversely, only 5 of the top 10 lenders grew
- RMS showed the highest growth in the group, up 58.2%
- RMF and FAR also grew handsomely, up 28.9% and 25.5%, respectively
