Commercial banks haven’t exactly distinguished themselves in the residential mortgage sector the past few years. Then there’s the case of TD Bank, the Canadian-based depository.

According to a new analysis by Inside Mortgage Trends, TD led the lending pack in terms of sequential growth in the third quarter: 76.2% to $3.19 billion of originations.

Unfortunately for banks, that’s where the positive depository news ends.

Nonbank Caliber Home Loans was a close second, posting sequential lending growth of 70.9%, followed by NewRez (60.9%) and Homebridge Financial Services (51.3%). (New Rez is owned by New Residential Investment Corp., a publicly traded real estate investment trust.)
