The Calabasas, California lender said mortgage loan fundings reached $51.8 billion during July, an all-time high according to the announcement of operational data. Production was reported at $48 billion in June, and a year ago, production was reported at $17.1 billion. Countrywide reported wholesale fundings of $10.5 billion and correspondent fundings of $24.3 billion. Consumer fundings were $12.9 billion, with other sources reported at $4.1 billion. The mortgage giant said purchase fundings were 26% of its business, while non-purchase fundings were reported at 74%.
