5,153 HECMs were endorsed in February, a 10.7% drop from January’s 5,771 HECM endorsements, but still the longest sustained period of 5,000+ monthly endorsements since before financial assessment began. All top originators experienced volume declines from January including AAG endorsing 1,495 loans, down 7%, FAR endorsing 407 loans, down 23%, and RMF endorsing 475 loans, down 1%.

HUD’s January Endorsement Snapshot Report was just released on its website. There has been no slowing down in HECM refinance activity, continuing to outpace traditional HECM endorsement volume.
New View Advisors offers its Who Buys What From Whom (WBWFW) report as part of our endorsement report subscription. The report compiles publicly available Ginnie Mae data to show which HMBS issuers buy HECMs from which lenders.
The WBWFW report includes:
–Top Originators – a ranking by original HECM UPB of all lenders over the last twelve months
–WBWFW – an alphabetical cross-reference between every lender and the HMBS issuer that securitizes its loans
–Top 100 Trends – a breakdown of loan sales by month, by Top-100 lender, by HMBS issuer.
Edited samples from our WBWFW report are at the end of this endorsement writeup. These reports together provide accurate insight for sales and marketing teams to learn just who’s buying what from whom. The dataset is more complete and timely than what endorsement analysis alone can show.
