Primary Mortgage Market

The primary market is where loans are originated - where borrowers get their loans. Key players: (1) Banks and credit unions - deposit-taking institutions that lend from their own funds. (2) Mortgage bankers - lend their own money but typically sell loans to the secondary market. (3) Mortgage brokers - match borrowers with lenders but do not fund loans themselves. (4) Savings and loans - historically focused on home lending.
