UWM announces 90-bps refinance incentive
"The incentive aims to equip mortgage brokers with a competitive edge to help more borrowers refinance their home loans by lowering rates and monthly payments for eligible refinances. UWM's refinance originations totaled $10.6 billion in the first quarter of 2025, down from $16.8 billion in Q4 2024 but nearly double the $5.5 billion recorded in Q1 2024."
"Our focus remains on building long-term, sustainable value not chasing short-term gains and we're confident in our ability to perform across all market conditions, even amid economic uncertainty and volatility."
"The refinance index increased by 5% from the previous week and was 18% higher than the same week one year ago. Refinances increased to their strongest pace in four weeks as rates decreased for the third consecutive week."
