(SeaPRwire) –   Leveraging data from InGenius, these rankings offer a thorough and consistent overview of mortgage origination activities throughout the U.S.

DALLAS, March 31, 2026 — HousingWire revealed today the introduction of the HousingWire Mortgage Rankings, a new performance intelligence tool designed to deliver an unambiguous, data-backed perspective on mortgage origination performance nationwide.

These rankings evaluate originators using their actual production figures, thereby providing a consistent measure of performance across various regions, loan categories, and distribution channels.

Previously, the mortgage sector lacked a publicly available and uniform assessment of originator performance. Numerous existing ranking systems depend on self-reported data, which results in incomplete coverage and hinders market-wide comparisons.

The HousingWire Mortgage Rankings resolve this issue by utilizing recorded transaction data to assess production comprehensively.

“This is not a ranking based on submissions; rather, it’s a direct measurement of genuine market activity,” stated Clayton Collins, CEO of HousingWire. “We hold that performance acknowledges performance. Top professionals enhance their skills through practice and experience, and in competitive environments such as the mortgage market, competition refines ability. This initiative offers an unambiguous, data-supported insight into who is truly generating and expanding their business.”

The foundation for these rankings is the data infrastructure provided by InGenius, a prominent supplier of mortgage data and analytical tools. Through the examination of recorded mortgage transactions nationwide, the dataset encompasses a wide spectrum of production activity, even including originators who might not engage in conventional, self-reporting schemes.

This methodology facilitates more extensive market coverage and provides a uniform, directly comparable standard for performance evaluation.

Jeff Walton, CEO of InGenius, highlighted the wider implications of this collaboration: “We are enthusiastic about partnering with HousingWire to enhance transparency within the mortgage market. The release of independent, unbiased production data represents a significant advancement for the industry.”

Although some transactions, like brokered loans or those registered under distinct entities, might not always be entirely included, the chosen methodology emphasizes consistency, breadth, and impartiality throughout the dataset.

These Mortgage Rankings integrate into HousingWire’s wider performance intelligence platform for the housing sector, extending its established history of evaluating production and market dynamics via programs such as RealTrends Verified and the forthcoming HousingWire Homebuilder Rankings.

In addition to providing benchmarks, the dataset offers insights into the market distribution of production, identifies originators who are increasing their market share, and illustrates how performance differs across various regions and loan types.

This leads to a clearer understanding of mortgage origination activity, empowering housing professionals to make more informed decisions with greater speed.

The HousingWire Mortgage Rankings commenced officially on March 31, 2026. A selection of this data will also appear with RealTrends Verified in a dedicated Wall Street Journal segment on April 10, 2026. Details of the methodology are available on HousingWire.com.
