Conventional loan share continued its multi-quarter trend of decline, with FHA loans filling the void and VA loan share also on the rebound.<\/li>\n<li>Purchase defects increased specifically the FHA category, which is expected given purchase loans\u2019 dominance in review share and the increase in FHA loans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cDespite an overall decline in the critical defect rate for Q1 2022, the Income\/Employment category remains a glaring problem. Lenders are finding this area a difficult one to rectify, and with staffing changes and new products coming online, it is more important than ever that QC managers get granular findings and feedback to their production group,\u201d said ACES Executive Vice President Nick Volpe. \u201cAdditionally, as lenders expand the credit box to win the fight for volume, they must be careful not to stretch too far and further exacerbate defects in this category.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Findings for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acesquality.com\/resources\/reports\/q1-2022-aces-mortgage-qc-industry-trends\">Q1 2022 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report<\/a> are based on post-closing quality control data derived from the ACES Quality Management and Control\u00ae benchmarking system and incorporate data from prior quarters and\/or calendar years, where applicable. All reviews and defect data evaluated for the report were based on loan audits selected by lenders for full file reviews.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the defect increases in three of the four \u2018core underwriting\u2019 categories are cause for concern, it was not all \u2018doom and gloom\u2019 for Q1 2022. Out of the 11 primary loan defect categories ACES tracks, five showed considerable improvement over last quarter, and none more so than the Documentation category, which dropped 37% from 14.57% to 9.09,\u201d added Volpe. \u201cThis is a tangible example of the importance of quality control reporting. With quality control and quality assurance testing, lenders can course correct and improve the overall quality of their mortgage originations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mortgage QC Industry Trends Reports are available for download, free of charge, at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.acesquality.com\/resources\/reports\">https:\/\/www.acesquality.com\/resources\/reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About ACES Quality Management<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ACES Quality Management is the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry.
