Real Estate Loans & Collateralized Debt in the US industry analysis

The industry is composed of non-depository institutions that conduct primary and secondary market lending. Operators in this industry include government agencies in addition to non-agency issuers of mortgage-related securities. Through 2024, rising per capita disposable income and low levels of unemployment helped fuel the increase in primary and secondary market sales of collateralized debt. Nonetheless, due to the pandemic and the sharp contraction in economic activity due to lockdowns, revenue gains were limited in 2020, but have climbed as the economy has normalized and interest rates shot up to tackle rampant inflation. However, in 2024 the Federal Reserve cut interest rates as inflationary pressures eased. Overall, these trends caused revenue to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% to $728.6 billion over the past five years, including an expected decline of 0.5% in 2024 alone. 

Trends and Insights

  • The strength of the real estate market fuels consistent growth for institutions. As homeownership rates continue to grow and 30-year mortgage rates remain elevated, core revenue streams such as mortgage-backed securities generate larger revenue.
  • Rapid economic recovery strengthens consumer lending space. As economic conditions improve and consumer confidence rises, there is higher propensity among individual consumers for loans to cover necessary expenses.
  • Booming population adds opportunities for institutions. Regions that have a growing population presence create a more diverse customer base that has a variety of lending needs.
  • Offering competitive interest rates on mortgages exacerbates internal competition. Institutions that are able to efficiently sell mortgages in the primary market do so on a competitive price basis advantageous to both parties.
