Real Estate Loans & Collateralized Debt in the US industry analysis

The Real Estate Loans and Collateralized Debt industry is composed of nondepository 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 2023, 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 outbreak of COVID-19 and the sharp contraction in economic activity due to lockdowns, revenue contracted in 2020, but has since rebounded as the economy has normalized and interest rates have shot up. These trends caused revenue to grow at a CAGR of 0.4% to an estimated $480.6 billion through 2023, with an anticipated spike of 6.4% in 2023. Profit, measured as revenue-less interest and noninterest income, is expected to account for 9.7% of revenue in 2023.

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.
