FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AD Mortgage, a leading wholesale lender in the United States, today released findings from its latest broker survey, Non-QM Fuels Mortgage Industry in 2026 revealing strong momentum for Non-QM lending across the mortgage industry.
According to the survey, 74.5% of brokers report growing Non-QM volume in their business today, while 88.4% expect volume to increase further in the near future, highlighting continued confidence in the sector's growth.
The survey also found that investor and DSCR loans are the leading reason brokers recommend Non-QM financing (36.1%), followed closely by borrowers who do not meet agency lending requirements (35.6%). When asked to define Non-QM in a single phrase, brokers most frequently selected "Flexibility beyond guidelines" (36.0%).
“As the Non-QM market continues to expand, technology will play a critical role in helping lenders and brokers deliver a faster, more efficient experience,” said CEO of AD Mortgage Max Slyusarchuk. “The opportunity isn't simply growth. It's creating a lending process that matches the flexibility of the products themselves.”
While brokers remain highly optimistic about Non-QM's future, the survey also identified an opportunity for continued innovation. Respondents rated the technology-driven nature of the Non-QM process at 6.4 out of 10, compared to 7.2 out of 10 for the broader mortgage industry.
