In 2020 More Than Two-Third Of Mortgages Were Issued By Non Bank Lender

Many Americans took out mortgages in 2020 and most of them didn’t come from banks.

According to industry research firm Inside Mortgage Finance, 68.1% of all mortgages originated in 2020 were issued by nonbank mortgage lenders in the U.S. Which is their highest market share on record and their biggest yearly gain since 2014.

For the past decade, nonbank mortgage lenders have been doing amazing business than the banks.

Since 2016 these lenders, which don’t take deposits or offer other banking services, have made up more than half of the market.

According to the research firm, at the end of 2020, non-banks were 7 of the 10 biggest U.S. mortgage lenders.

Since the average rate on the 30-year mortgage fell below 3% for the first time it boosted home sales and spurred a refinancing boom.

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association lenders of all stripes originated a record $3.83 trillion in home loans in 2020.

But banks did do that great. Still recovering from massive losses during the 2008–09 financial crisis in the mortgage industry, they only accepted the safest borrowers and withdrew from the jumbo loans that had fueled their mortgage businesses.

Meanwhile, their balance sheets got strained due to the rise in loan demand from corporate borrowers.

According to Inside Mortgage Finance, nonbanks took the opportunity with borrowers looking to refinance.

The nation’s largest mortgage lender’s loan volume went up by more than double in 2020.

According to Piper Sandler Cos. in the second quarter of 2020, the median gain-on-sale margin, which is a measure of how much lenders earn when they sell loans, rose to 3.05%.

Yet in the coming months lenders are preparing for mortgage demand to cool because of rising interest rates refinancing has become less attractive for a large number of borrowers.

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association in 2021, the mortgage originations are expected to fall more than 9% to $3.47 trillion.
