Credit Union Mortgage Originations On The Rise
Washington, DC (PRWEB) November 05, 2014 -- Data from Callahan & Associates’ mortgage market intelligence product, MortgageAnalyzer, shows credit unions originated 8.3% of the total number of mortgage originations up 5.2% since 2007.
Credit unions in North Carolina, Iowa, and Hawaii led the industry in growth of number of loan originations. Between the three states, credit unions helped place 55,616 families in new homes and saw an increase of 28% in the number of mortgage loans originated from 2012 to 2013.
•In North Carolina, credit unions increased loan originations by 36.4% from 2012 to 2013, while on a statewide level including banks, originations dropped 3.5% over the same period. The increase in credit union originations was driven largely by strong increases in purchase mortgage originations, which grew 72% during the period.
•Iowa credit unions increased their mortgage loan originations by 16.9% from 2012 to 2013. This increase was driven by a 66.3% increase in purchase mortgage originations.
•Hawaii credit unions also experienced strong growth relative to their bank competitors in 2013. Total loan originations grew 16.1% from June 2012 to June 2013. Driving this growth was a market share expansion by credit unions into the home improvement loan origination market.
Arkansas, Arizona, West Virginia, Texas, Louisiana, Wyoming, and Colorado round out the top 10 performing states in number of credit union loan originations.
