Mortgage Daily 2016 Biggest Lender Ranking


DALLAS, April 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Although quarterly mortgage originations dipped from the previous period, there was an increase in annual volume. There was some jockeying for position among the nation's 10-largest lenders.

U.S. home lenders originated an estimated $517 billion during the final-three months of 2016, according to data collected for the Mortgage Daily Fourth Quarter 2016 Mortgage Origination Survey.

Mortgage production declined from the previous three-month period, when $568 billion in residential loans were closed. But activity accelerated from $375 billion in the final quarter of 2015.

Banks were responsible for $236 billion of fourth-quarter 2016 originations, while credit unions generated $48 billion and non-banks accounted for $233 billion.

Wells Fargo maintained its position as the country's biggest mortgage lender.

PennyMac climbed to fourth position in the latest quarter from No. 5 in the third quarter, while Bank of America also moved up one spot to No. 5.

The fourth-biggest lender in the third-quarter ranking, US Bank, dropped to No. 6.
