Bigger purchase loans
Purchases made up 81.7% of its loans. Its typical loan was $295,000, against $175,000 at similar lenders (state non-member banks making between half and twice as many loans), larger than at most of them. Jumbo loans (larger than the conforming limit) were 3.3%, against 1.5%.
Flat while peers grew
It made 126 loans, as in 2024, while similar lenders grew 9% and the whole market 10%. It made 194 in 2020 and 198 in 2021. A lender that mostly finances purchases may follow home sales in its rural markets more than refinancing.
Country markets
It ranks 54 of 539 lenders in non-metro Virginia, 40 of 383 in non-metro Maryland and 81 of 368 in non-metro Delaware, all since 2014. In Salisbury, MD it ranks 44 of 205, and its share rose 0.1 points to 0.5%.
Fewer modest earners
Low- and moderate-income (LMI) borrowers took 13.6% of its loans, lower than at about nine in ten similar lenders, and LMI neighborhoods 6.3%, against 17.6%. Larger purchase loans and the incomes in the areas it serves are possible reasons.
Similar lenders: same lender type, originations between half and twice the lender's in the data year.
