IRVINE, CA–ATTOM Data Solutions reports that more than 1.9 million loans secured by residential property were originated in the fourth quarter of 2017 — down 20% from the previous quarter and down 19% from a year ago. Of the loans originated in the fourth quarter 818,158 were refinance loans, down 17% from the previous quarter and down 34% from a year ago.
