While other lenders across the country consolidate or go out of business, there has been no such activity when it comes to Countrywide home loans.

Mortgage loan fundings totaled $45 billion in the month of June, up about 4 percent from the year-ago period. Average daily home mortgage application activity for June was $3.1 billion, up 15 percent from a year ago.
The firm reported that commercial real estate funding for the month of June was $814 million, up 75 percent from June 2006.
Countrywide said its home loan servicing portfolio reached $1.4 trillion at the end of June, refecting an 18 percent increase from June 30, 2006.
“Market conditions became increasingly challenging throughout the second quarter of 2007,” said David Sambol, Countrywide’s COO.
“The housing market continues to soften, and delinquencies and defaults continue to rise.”
