The biggest M&A deal of 2004 could turn out to be the sale of Cendant Mortgage, the nation's 10th largest servicer, that is, if the company is really for sale.

Confused? Welcome to a new year in mortgage banking, a year in which mortgage rates are expected to rise (but may not), and loan originations may plummet (but maybe it won't be so bad after all).

As for Cendant, as MSN's sister publication National Mortgage News reported in early December, the company, sources say, is quietly being shopped around but there is, as yet, no official "book" out. (Goldman Sachs & Co. is its investment banker.)

One thing is for certain though: servicing values have firmed up over the past two months, which means that if Cendant's corporate parent wants to sell the mortgage bank's $134 billion servicing portfolio, it should have plenty of bidders.

Many servicing brokers anticipate that the new year could be a good year for them, but as of this writing, no major portfolios had hit the market.
