interesting stats:

Independent mortgage banks posted a pretax net production profit of $727 per loan in Q1 2026, up from $674 in Q4 2025.
The problem: per-loan production costs jumped to $11,898, up from $11,102 the prior quarter. For context, the long-run average since 2008 is $7,903 per loan — meaning today's cost structure is running roughly 50% above historical norms.
