May 16: MLO jobs; 40-year, pre-approval, processing, subservicing products; thoughts from the Secondary Conference

May 16, 2022 by Rob Chrisman

Plenty of capital markets folks, senior management, and the usual cadre of vendors are here in Manhattan, doing the macarena until 2AM. Okay, just kidding. They’re actually talking about some pretty serious stuff. For example, MCT writes, “We are seeing, from our clients, that current market roll costs and the ultimate effects on execution are the biggest concerns for secondary marketing heads,” and is spelled out in this MCT article. Trying to wring every basis point out of a loan or servicing sale is another topic. Small steps by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are having some positive impacts while they continue to manage credit risk and use pricing as a tool to guide business. Agency shifts will continue, and some of the talk includes policies about including rental payments in the credit decision, helping the “green” channel with policies regarding solar panels, affordable housing programs, protecting borrower information, and the impact of climate change on pricing and policies. Stay tuned! (Today’s podcast is available here and this week’s is sponsored by Candor. With Candor’s Machine as an Underwriter, lenders modernize their manufacturing infrastructure making them immune to margin, capacity, and staffing challenges forever. Today’s has an interview with Rida A. Sharaf, Chief Strategy Officer, US Real Estate Services (USRES) and Res.net Systems on REO inventory, the end of moratoriums, and the restart of evictions and foreclosures.)

Thoughts from the National Secondary

___________________________________________________

Garth Graham, Senior Partner with the STRATMOR Group, checked in from here in New York. “Being in New York for secondary is like a flash back to pre-covid days. Crowded, face to face, and everyone is looking for every penny in execution.

“I actually did some digging through the data and found some interesting statistics related to correspondent lending (i.e. loan purchasing) vs agency delivery. In 2018, the aggregator’s share of the IMB market was 40%, and last year it was 25% because so much was delivered to the agencies. Of course, delivering to the agencies and retaining servicing is a good strategy when you want to defer the earnings into future years AND when you have plenty of cash.

“Well a lot of IMB’s find themselves in a different market today. And that’s without proposed IMB capital rule changes that will make it even harder for companies with light balance sheets to retain servicing. So, I expect that the delivery to correspondent aggregators will grow in the next year (the share will grow) even as the total market goes down. I think this was part of the investment thesis for Planet in their decision to buy the Correspondent channel of Home Point: More capabilities for correspondent sellers will be a plus in this market.

“By the way, there are certainly some big lenders active in the M&A space who sort of communicate an alternative strategy, that they are long on servicing and consider that as a strategic advantage to retain the customer relationship. I know in several M&A deal we have done recently, that ability to retain servicing was a big factor.” Thank you, Garth.

Capital markets

___________________________________________________

Obviously, a big discussion point here in New York is interest rates. The end of a chaotic week last week saw some soothed frayed nerves, thanks to a little help from various Fed speakers who indicated bigger rate hikes are off the table for now, including reassurances from Fed Chair Powell’s that bigger rate hikes are not in the Fed’s plans for the next two meetings. He did add that if data turns the wrong way, the Fed is prepared to do more. The overall tone was hawkish and Treasury yields pulled back to end the week, though the 10-year yield ended the week down 18 basis points from where it began.

 

Last week’s reading on consumer inflation showed prices increased at 8.3 percent for the preceding twelve months. While this is a small decline from March’s data, it was still above analysts’ estimates and still very elevated. Cost pressures also abound for businesses: producer prices were up 11 percent over the last year. 70 percent of businesses reported raising prices in April to combat higher input prices. A quick reminder that the Bureau of Labor Statistics approximates home price changes within CPI in a manner known as “owner’s equivalent rent” (OER). OER attempts to capture price changes by asking homeowners what they think their home’s potential rental price would be, and the past few years of out-sized home price changes means CPI fails to accurately account for it. That is not helpful for the FOMC in attempting to determine its stance of monetary policy.

 

Despite consumer sentiment falling in May to its lowest level since 2011 due to inflation dimming views on the economy, consumer demand remains strong. Consumers expect prices to rise 5.4% over the next year, holding at a four-decade high, and their view of their current financial situation is at its lowest reading since 2013. Higher prices, higher interest rates, and a significant stock market correction led to 47 percent of consumers saying they feel worse off financially than one year ago. Many hope that inflation has peaked and the economy will gradually slow while avoiding falling into recession.

 

Last week saw $30.2 billion MBS submitted for sale by originators, with the Fed purchasing $9.7 billion of that. 68 percent was in UMBS30s, 11 percent in UMBS15s, and 21 percent in GNIIs. This week sees the Desk purchasing up to $8.2 bn over 10 operations. The New York Fed released the latest agency MBS purchase schedule through May 26, the fifth consecutive schedule that will not see any net additions to its balance sheet, and we will soon see reduction due to roll off. Today, the Desk will purchase up to $1.7 billion across UMBS and GNII 30-year 3.5 percent through 4.5 percent. The Fed holds between 40 and 50 percent of the 2 percent and 2.5 percent UMBS 30-year securities in the market. That number decreases as you go up the coupon stack, with the Fed holding 14 percent of the outstanding 4.5 coupon. As we approach the beginning of the Federal Reserve’s third attempt to go back to an all-Treasury balance sheet, it is important to remember that the Fed has absorbed a massive $2.7 trillion of Agency mortgage bonds, leaving far less for private investors.

 

This week’s economic calendar includes several housing-related releases in addition to retail sales, industrial production/capacity utilization, business inventories, regional Fed surveys, and leading indicators. The Treasury will auction $17 billion 20-year bonds on Wednesday followed by $14 billion reopened 10-year TIPS on Thursday. Today’s calendar has the release of Empire manufacturing for May, New York Fed President Williams moderating a discussion before the aforementioned MBA secondary conference, and March TIC data from the Treasury, for those who care. After Friday saw Fed Chair Powell’s remarks calming markets, we begin the week with Agency MBS prices little changed from Friday and the 10-year yielding 2.92 after closing last week at 2.94 percent.

I was in a taxi last night here in Manhattan, and the driver asked, “Do you mind if I put some classic rock music on?”

I said, “Not at all.”

He said, “Kiss?”

I replied, “Let’s listen to the music first, then see how we feel.”
