The three largest servicers now each manage more than $400 billion in home loan receivables, an industry first.

And that is not the only consolidation milestone that was reached in the second quarter. The top five each manage more than $300 billion of home loans. And the top ten servicers now control more than half of all the outstanding mortgages in the U.S.

According to second-quarter figures compiled by this newspaper, the top ten had a combined market share of 50.63% at June 30, compared to 41.6% at the same period last year, a market share gain of almost 22% over 12 months.

The pace of servicing consolidation, as most mortgage executives know, has been nothing short of phenomenal the past few years. At the end of 1995, for instance, the top 10 had a combined market share of just 24.9%.

When, and if, servicing consolidation will slow is anyone's guess, but there are some potential storm clouds on the horizon.

The refinancing boom, which started in the fourth quarter, is continuing. This has been great news for lenders but several high-profile servicers - chief among them, HomeSide of Jacksonville, Fla. - have announced large writedowns due to higher-than-expected prepayments.

The refi boom has forced firms that capitalize servicing to admit that the anticipated revenue from their receivables has been overstated.
