Servicing outstanding increased overall during the third quarter, but not at the two largest players in the market.

With production coming down, lenders shifted to riskier borrowers to some extent.

Small and mid-sized nonbanks saw their share of GSE servicing increase to 16.7% during the third reporting period of the year.

Mortgage-related complaints received by the bureau were up 3.7% on a quarterly basis.

Among a group of 25 publicly traded banks, earnings were down 12.0% from the first quarter, with wide dispersion in performance at individual banks.

An estimated $490.0 billion of first-lien mortgages were originated in the third quarter, down 15.5% from the second quarter, according to a new ranking and analysis by Inside Mortgage Finance.

Purchase-mortgage volume increased from the second quarter and refi business dropped.

The top two GSE sellers — on both quarterly and year-to-date bases — remain Rocket Mortgage and United Wholesale Mortgage.

Rocket Mortgage, the largest agency servicer and a nonbank, went the other way, reducing its portfolio during the quarter.
