Credit unions accounted for 9 percent of all mortgage originations in 2016, according to Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data.
There were 1,939 credit unions that filed HMDA reports. A majority of credit unions (1,025) made fewer than 100 loans and 374 credit unions reported fewer than 25 loans.
Credit unions reported 215 thousand home-purchase loans. Almost 87 percent of home-purchase loans were conventional mortgages.
Credit unions, along with small banks, accounted for a highly disproportionate share of conventional higher-priced loans. Five percent of credit unions' conventional loans were high-priced versus 3.7 percent of all conventional mortgages made by all lenders.
Almost one quarter (25.2 percent) of all home-purchase loans were made to low-and moderate-income (LMI) borrowers and 13.2 percent were to LMI neighborhoods.
Credit unions reported 277 thousand refinance loans, of which 96 percent were conventional loans.
Credit unions sold about one-half of the home-purchase loans they originated and about 40 percent of the refinance loans they originated.
