The mortgage market in the United States is showing an uneven recovery in 2025, driven by refinancing activity and larger loan balances, which could impact housing affordability and lender strategies. The insights from iEmergent's analysis provide valuable benchmarking tools for lenders to identify growth opportunities and meet regulatory obligations.
iEmergent released its analysis of 2025 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data, revealing an uneven recovery in the United States mortgage market. Total loan volume increased to $2.12 trillion in 2025, primarily driven by refinance activity. Independent mortgage banks (IMBs) extended their lead in originations, capturing a significant share of market growth. Rising loan sizes continue to pressure affordability, and while denial rates modestly declined, overall application fallout remains high, particularly for minority applicants. The market also shows high concentration, with a small group of lenders originating half of the total mortgage volume. iEmergent's Mortgage MarketSmart tool integrates this data to help lenders benchmark performance and identify growth opportunities.
