Product Details
Purchase-money loans made up the majority of GSE sales in 3Q14, finishing the period just over the halfway mark at 54.76 percent. But the shift is replicated more often among smaller sellers than it is among bigger players. Among the top 20 sellers, 40 percent are still refi-heavy. Among the top 100, it's just 27 percent.
Learn more about the market—and the particulars of each individual player in it—with Inside Mortgage Finance's quarterly report GSE Seller Profile. This exhaustive data report examines GSE sales lender by lender, for every lender that made a sale to a GSE during the three-month period. You’ll have detailed information on where the loans are coming from—retail, correspondent or broker. You’ll have particulars on the loan demographics—FICO score, loan-to-value, debt-to-income and loan size averages. You’ll also see how the sales break down by product type—refinance or purchase.

From the third quarter 2014 report, you'd learn:
M&T Bank’s retail purchase-money loans were near mirror images of the market, with average loan value, loan-to-value ratio and FICO score hewing to the market averages. But the refinance loans sourced through its retail branches had looser underwriting than the norm, with LTV of 76.2 percent (market average: 68.0), average FICO of 721.7 (market average: 744.1) and debt-to-income of 33.7 percent (market average: 31.8).
Looking for correspondent partners? These lenders are just a few of those that got the lion’s share of their loans from the correspondent channel: BB&T (66 percent), First Guaranty Mortgage Corp. (60 percent), First Bank Tennessee (76 percent), and Zions First National Bank (66 percent).
In September, the loans that Prospect Mortgage sold to the GSEs had an average coupon of 4.660 percent. The rate for loans it generated from the retail channel was 4.406 percent. The rate on the purchase-money loans it made was 4.788 percent.
