If it works as intended, by calming inflation, it will help to keep mortgage rates low in the long-term.

The effects on nonbanks will depend on the mix between their production and servicing operations, Fitch Ratings said.

The government-sponsored enterprises will start releasing information similar to what large banks already do, starting in the first quarter of 2023.

Revenue was also slashed by lower per-employee productivity and slipping application pull-through.

First quarter gain-on-sale at nine originators tracked by Keefe, Bruyette & Woods averaged 149 basis points, much higher than the 5 bps recorded for independent mortgage bankers tracked by the MBA.

But the REIT, which invests in mortgages that have to be verified through nontraditional means like bank statements, has seen an improvement in its outlook since the first quarter.

Higher rates and tight margins are affecting its non-QM and conforming businesses.

Only Stewart reported a quarter-to-quarter increase in net income, while upstart Doma is reducing headcount by 15%.

The sale of its correspondent business to Planet Home Lending, divestment in a reverse mortgage lender, Longbridge Financial, and the outsourcing of mortgage servicing rights all reinforce its focus on wholesale, company management said.

Its outlook is about $20 billion less than what the analyst consensus forecast had called for.
