United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) led the mortgage origination sector in Q1 2025 with $31.4 billion in loans, a 14.7% increase from the previous year. This success is attributed to significant technology investments and motivating incentives for broker partners. Among the top lenders, eight out of the ten observed an increase in origination volume compared to Q1 2024. However, Rocket Mortgage and Freedom Mortgage reported declines. The overall originations of the top 50 lenders reached $355 billion, marking a 10.9% growth year-over-year.
"UWM's impressive Q1 2025 performance, fueled by technology investments and incentives for brokers, reflects a significant year-over-year growth, with $31.4 billion in loans originated."
"Pennymac's strategic focus on its servicing book positions it well to thrive when mortgage rates move down, despite experiencing a lower quarterly profit this quarter."
