The Dallas-based lender will assume close to $1.1 billion of conventional mortgage servicing rights, roughly $600 million in tangible equity and $500 million in outstanding Home Point 5% senior notes.

Home price overvaluations over 10% are easing in some markets, analysts say, but RMBS investors are still cautiously tightening liquidity amid uncertainty.

Lenders used the firm's software in nearly a quarter of originations in the second half of last year, up from 14% over the same period in 2021.

The move cancels the fee Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would have imposed on certain loans for which the borrower's total debt exceeded 40%.

On a non-GAAP basis, the company reported better results on a year-over-year basis, Chairman, President and CEO Mat Ishbia said.

The country's third-largest originator saw revenue tick up in the first quarter off of higher servicing income and more pull-through weighted rate lock volume from lower average interest rates, it said.

Economic uncertainty slowed multifamily and commercial activity to the lowest level in 9 years, the Mortgage Bankers Association said.

The offering comes amid an ongoing wave of private and public MSR sales.

Both its servicing and origination segment were in the red in the first three months of the year, with the latter division reporting a net loss of $32.8 million.

The firm's reverse mortgage arm combined with the newly acquired American Advisors Group will make the parent company the largest player in that lending space, executives said.
