Residential loan production was down at EverBank Financial Corp., as was its mortgage servicing portfolio. Residential assets, however, grew.
The volume of home lending from
the period that began on July 1 and ended on Sept. 30 was $2.292 billion.
That was according to the
Jacksonville, Florida-based financial institution’s third-quarter earnings report which was released on Wednesday.
Mortgage production
was down from the previous three-month period, when $2.718 in home loans were closed.
Business also slipped from the same three-month period last year, a quarter that saw $2.302 billion in mortgage originations.
For all three quarters of 2015, EverBank originated $7.376 billion.
Third-quarter 2015 activity included $0.961 billion in agency loans, $1.219 billion in jumbo mortgages and $0.111 billion in other originations.
