• Government Share of Mortgage Market Falls (Thu., 09 February 2012 04:15 GMT)  Residential loan originations fell in 2011, and some lenders saw more of a decline than others -- though a few firms eked out a gain. The government's role in residential finance was reduced last year as private capital crept back into the market. Half of all the U.S. mortgage market last year was controlled by three lenders.
  
  Fourth-quarter residential originations by all lenders were an estimated $381 billion, based on an analysis of production activity by Mortgage Daily.
  
  Volume was up from an estimated $317 billion closed by U.S. lenders in the third quarter.

• Some CRE Lenders See Strength (Wed., 08 February 2012 23:33 GMT)  The origination of commercial real estate loans was higher at several firms last year, and much of the strength came from multifamily production. One firm reported that annual volume more than doubled.
  
  Fannie Mae reported that its lending partners financed 2,763 multifamily loans for $24.4 billion last year.
  
  Last year's CRE loan production at Prudential Mortgage Capital was the third-best year on record.

• Some Lenders Lift Business Despite Industry Slowdown (Wed., 08 February 2012 23:14 GMT)  Although residential originations for the industry as a whole were down last year, gains were made by a lender that is exiting the mortgage business and a growing Oklahoma firm. Quarterly activity at the nation's credit unions reached the second-highest level ever.
  
  A Mortgage Daily analysis of multiple economic forecasts indicates that home-loan production for all U.S. lenders were down around 15 percent between 2010 and 2011.
  
  But MetLife Home Loans reported to Mortgage Daily that it originated around 7 percent more last year than it did in 2010.
