Volume slipped while peers grew
Originations fell 5% to 15,382, while similar lenders (independent non-bank lenders making between half and twice as many loans) grew 17% and the whole market 10%. Home purchases were 86.3% of its lending, so it may have had less refinance business to add than lenders with a larger refinance mix. Its share rose in Grand Junction but fell in Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, so the fall was not across all its markets. Its originations were 28,263 in 2020.
