Mortgage Industry Changes: Insights from a Private Mortgage Loan Servicing Company for Lenders in June 2006
In June 2006, a newsletter from a private mortgage loan servicing company noted that numerous changes had taken place in the mortgage industry since the previous year. Among these changes were an increase in the number of adjustable-rate mortgages, as well as a decrease in the demand for subprime loans. The newsletter also mentioned that the servicing industry had become more competitive, with new companies springing up and offering lower prices.
