Wells Fargo has retained its position as the largest mortgage originator in the country from before the economic downturn. In fact, the bank tightened its grip in the industry after the recession thanks to its acquisition of Wachovia – originating one in every four mortgages in the country in early 2010. Although weak conditions in the mortgage space have dragged down Wells Fargo’s market share to around 12% now, the bank still remains significantly ahead of its peers.
