The Mortgage Bankers Association is predicting increases in refinance activity into the second quarter, which will could help further the growth of mortgage market share in credit unions moving forward.

"At U.S. credit unions, mortgage originations reached $50.8 billion as of March 31, 2020. This is almost double what credit unions reported in the first quarter of 2019. Likewise, credit union mortgage market share increased 1.0 percentage point over the past 12 months to 9.0%," according to the report.
