Below you will find the top HECM lenders in 2008. Also be sure to check out the sample report which breaks down the top lenders even more at the bottom.

• Overall industry volume got off to a good start, as endorsements jumped to 9,957 units in January 2008, up 24% over December 2007.
• Top 10 volume increased at a slightly higher rate, up over 26% to 4,108 endorsements vs December (but down from 4,428 in January 07)
• The Top 10 lenders made up 41.3% of volume for January, vs. 50.2% in the same period last year.
• The top market, based on HUD regions, is the Southeast/Caribbean region, solidly displacing the Pacific/Hawaii region. This has been going on since Q4 of last year, but looks much more pronounced now that we are looking at a single month in 2008. We’d also like to point out that the Southeast/Caribbean region also saw the largest growth rate in active lenders, up 116% over a year ago.
• New lenders continue to enter the market. The number of lenders doing business in January was 1,001, a 53% increase over the same period last year.
