Tool Aids in Shift from Refis to Purchase
Although the U.S. refinance wave recently crested, the prospect of new refinance business is quickly fading. So one firm is helping lenders make a transition from refinance originations to purchase business.

Mortgage rates have been on the rise, with 30-year fixed rates nearly reaching 4 percent in Freddie Mac's rate survey last week after falling to a record-low 3.31 percent in November.

Refinance share had been around three-fourths in the first quarter of this year. But industry forecasts have refinance share plunging -- with the Mortgage Bankers Association predicting a 44 percent fourth-quarter refinance share, Fannie Mae projecting a 49 percent share, and Freddie Mac being most optimistic at 60 percent.

Originating on Phones, Tablets & PCs
Loan originators are primarily Microsoft users, though they switch to Apple products when utilizing mobile devices, according to the 2012 Loan Originator Survey. But few originators actually perform any loan origination functions on mobile devices. Pricing engines and e-mail are the prominent sources of interest rates for originators.
Top Service Providers for Los
The 2012 Loan Originator Survey looked at which service providers are utilized most by mortgage loan officers. Among four categories of service providers reviewed were appraisal management companies, loan origination system developers, product and pricing engines and wholesale lenders. Among mortgage service providers, Mortgage Daily advertisers had significant market share.
