- The all-important “Endorsements/Lender” metric picked up a bit after dropping significantly in August. Given the shakeout of smaller brokers and marginal volume contributors, the continuing low volume of new lenders entering the industry is leading to healthier volume for the remaining companies.
- Top 10 lenders share of volume for 2010 stands at 43.8%, up from the prior year and in keeping with fewer active lenders in the market
