According to the report, FHA estimates the industry will endorse 106,875 HECMs during HUDs fiscal year 2010 which represent a 7% decline from endorsements in 2009.
Other interesting protections from the report:
- 3,420 HECM for purchases endorsed, up from 423 in FY 2009
- 7,268 HECM refinances, down from the 8390 in FY 2009
