The Company is subject to credit risk associated with its originated mortgage loans during the period of time prior to the sale of these loans. The Company considers credit risk associated with these loans to be minimal as it holds the loans for a short period of time and the market for these loans continues to be highly liquid.
The Company utilizes repurchase agreements and warehouse lines of credit to finance its mortgage loans held-for-sale. At September 30, 2025, the Company had pledged mortgage loans held-for-sale with a carrying value of $12.4 million as collateral for its repurchase agreements and warehouse line of credit. At December 31, 2024, the Company had pledged mortgage loans held-for-sale with a carrying value of $2.1 million as collateral for its warehouse line of credit. See Note 13 - Financing.
