| IndyMac Activity Up
$6.9 billion 1st quarter production April 29, 2004 By MortgageDaily.com staff |
| Overall mortgage volume nudged up at IndyMac Bancorp Inc. — driven by a wave of refinances.
The Pasadena, Calif.-based bank reported that first quarter mortgage production totaled $6.9 billion, up from the previous quarter’s $6.3 billion. Last year at this time, volume was $6.5 billion. The company said the quarterly uptick was driven by refinance activity — up 35% — during February’s declining interest-rate environment. Alt-A loan originations comprised most of the latest volume as they rose to $4.6 billion, IndyMac said, while subprime fundings were $458 million. Meanwhile, home equity line of credit production reportedly edged down to $244 million. The total servicing portfolio of $38.9 billion increased 6% from the fourth quarter, according to the report. IndyMac announced first quarter net income totaled $41.9 million. |
