The Bank of America reported in the third quarter of 2023 that their mortgage and home equity production activity had declined from the previous quarter. This is a result of the initial impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
The bank’s total mortgage production, excluding home equity loans and lines-of-credit, declined from the second quarter to the third quarter due to a decrease in the percentage of purchase loans originated. The bank noted that they had approved certain credit requirements for borrowers and that many borrowers with lower credit ratings were opting to stay with their current lender, which had an effect on new applications.
As a result, the bank saw mortgage production decline due to a decrease in originations of both purchase and refinance loans. The bank’s home equity production also decreased from the second quarter to the third quarter due to the continued lagged effects of the initial COVID-19 outbreak.
