Bigger loans than its rivals
Its typical loan was $585,000, against $315,000 at similar lenders, independent mortgage companies making between half and twice as many loans; almost none of them made larger loans. Jumbo loans, larger than the conforming limit, were 10.6% of its lending against 1.1% at its peers. That share was 10.2% five years before, so this is long-standing. Its 1,726 loans came to $1.16 billion.
