Mortgage Banking Activities [Abstract] |
MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES | MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES The Bank originates conforming SFR mortgage loans and sells these loans in the secondary market. The amount of net revenue on mortgage banking activities is a function of mortgage loans originated for sale and the fair values of these loans and related derivatives. Net revenue on mortgage banking activities includes mark to market pricing adjustments on loan commitments and forward sales contracts, and initial capitalized value of MSRs. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Bank originated $1.02 billion and sold $976.1 million of conforming SFR mortgage loans in the secondary market. The net gain and margin were $29.7 million and 2.90 percent, respectively, and loan origination fees were $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Included in the net gain is the initial capitalized value of our MSRs, which totaled $8.4 million on loans sold to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae for the three months ended March 31, 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Bank originated $1.01 billion and sold $927.7 million of conforming SFR mortgage loans in the secondary market. The net gain and margin were $34.4 million and 3.41 percent, respectively, and loan origination fees were $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Included in the net gain is the initial capitalized value of our MSRs, which totaled $9.8 million on loans sold to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in net gain, despite increases in both originations and sales, was due mainly to a $9.6 million decrease in recognized fair values of derivative instruments related to mortgage banking activities, partially offset by a $6.2 million increase in gain on sale. The decrease in fair value of hedging instruments was due to generally lower interest rates and the increase in gain on sales was due to the increased sales volume. Mortgage Loan Repurchase Obligations In addition to net revenue on mortgage banking activities, the Company records provisions to the representation and warranty reserve representing our initial estimate of losses on probable mortgage repurchases or loss reimbursements. Total provision for loan repurchases was $379 thousand and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Of these total provisions for loan repurchases, the Company recorded an initial provision for loan repurchases of $738 thousand and $483 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, against net revenue on mortgage banking activities. The following table presents a summary of activity in the reserve for losses on repurchased loans for the periods indicated:

In addition to the reserve for losses on repurchased loans at March 31, 2016, the Company may receive repurchase demands in future periods that could be material to the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company believes that all known or probable and estimable demands were adequately reserved for at March 31, 2016.
