The reverse mortgage industry endorsed 114,783 of Home Equity Conversion Mortgages during the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) FY 2009, which ended September 30, 2009. That’s up 2.3% compared to HUD’s FY 2008.
Below is a list of the top HECM lenders through September 2009. Be sure to check out the commentary and link below which goes into more detail.
- Endorsement volume for September came in at 9,473 units, up 6% from August, bringing the YTD number to 87,130.
- The number of lenders with an endorsement during the year has hit 2,905, a 10.7% increase over 2008.
- The all-important "Endorsements/Lender" metric picked up a bit after dropping significantly in August. This was probably helped by the lowest number of new entrants coming into the market in the last two years.
- Top 10 lenders share of volume for 2009 stands at 42.5%, up from the prior year, despite the higher number of lenders active in the market. We view this as a sign of things to come as the industry continues to mature and legislation and economic realities force some of the small shops out.
- This marks the first month we’ve combined Omni/Security One Lending’s volume into one, and the result pops them into the Top 10.
