More than a third of the institutions that sold loans to the GSEs in the second quarter booked less than $5 million in sales. More than half had less than $10 million in sales.
Retail remained the busiest channel, with nearly all of the sellers (1,849 of 1,922) sourcing loans through this channel. Only 89 of the thousand smallest lenders used correspondents or brokers.
Or in fine detail about specific market players…
Neighborhood Mortgage Solutions, Bankers Bank, Stifel Bank and Trust, First State Bank Nebraska, TXL Mortgage Corporation and the Bank of North Dakota all relied solely on the correspondent channel as the source of the loans they sold to the GSEs.

Of this group, Bayview Loan Servicing, with a sales volume of $57.7 million, had the highest average LTV, 119.37 percent. (The highest LTV among all of the sellers, 147.00 percent, belongs to LGE Community Credit Union, which sold one $144,000 loan during the quarter.)
