Recent HECM endorsement data indicates that the volume increase is significantly influenced by reductions in interest rates experienced since October. Industry experts like Jon McCue from RMI comment on HUD's data release improvements, which had previously lagged due to a website redesign. Although HECM datasets are still delayed by one to two months, updates have recently resumed, alleviating concerns for industry stakeholders. Additionally, all but one of the ten monitored regions showed volume increases, signaling varied market dynamics.
McCue noted that the recent rise in HECM endorsements is primarily attributed to recent declines in interest rates, which could finally be reflected in April's data.
The consistent release of HECM data from HUD has improved, yet it still lags by approximately one to two months post-administration transition.
RMI observed that nearly all regions reported gains in HECM volumes, except for the Midwest, indicating the uneven nature of the market's performance.
Industry relief was noted as HUD began updating its data pages after a period of delays due to a website redesign, providing vital insights for stakeholders.
