The top graph on page 1 of HECM Trends shows the past three years of HECM endorsement volume – right now it’s eerie how closely this year is patterning to 2012. Given that August 2014 volume checked in well south of August 2012 that pattern is likely to take a little bit of a hit, but right now it seems fairly likely that the rest of the year could hover around the 4,000 loans per month mark to make the final tally very close.
- We noted Arizona’s resurgence last month in this report, but there’s more to the 18.5% growth this year than just the biggest county, city and zip code
- Maricopa county comprises 60.5% of year to date volume in AZ, but Phoenix contributes just 24.6% of Maricopa county volume
- Several suburbs like Mesa, Scottsdale, Sun City and Sun City West are all checking in with big volume and with the exception of Scottsdale (which declined by 1 loan) all are showing big growth too
