The company’s quarterly funded origination volume dipped from $25 billion in the second quarter to $21 billion in the third quarter. Despite the decrease, it enjoyed a $67 million gain in its total originations revenue quarter over quarter, totaling $184 million. Home Point’s gain on sale was 73 basis points during the period, compared to 233 bps in Q3 2020 and 74 bps in Q2 2021.
A 16% reduction in the direct expenses of Home Point’s origination segment and a 7% drop in servicing direct expenses led to an 11% sequential quarter decrease in its total expenses – down to $175 million in Q3.
During the quarter, Newman said Home Point executed a number of priorities, including expanding its partner network, launching productivity and efficiency initiatives, enhancing its partner and customer experience, and diversifying its capital markets execution alternatives.
As a result of these changes, the firm’s broker partners grew by 714 quarter over quarter and increased by more than 2,500 year over year to 7,452 as of September 30. Meanwhile, its servicing customers decreased 5% quarter over quarter but was up by 40% year over year to 428,622 at the end of the third quarter.
According to Home Point’s release, the sequential quarter decrease in servicing customers was primarily due to the sale of the GNMA servicing portfolio, which was closed in the third quarter of 2021.
“We remain focused on optimizing our business to create sustainable long-term value for our stakeholders,” Newman said.
