Is the Reverse Mortgage volume going to increase in 2025

Didier Malagies • April 9, 2025


Yes, the reverse mortgage market is projected to experience growth in 2025. Analyses indicate that the market size will increase from $1.79 billion in 2024 to $1.92 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. ​


Several factors contribute to this anticipated growth:


  • Higher Lending Limits: The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has raised the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) lending limit to $1,209,750 for 2025, up from $1,149,825 in 2024. This increase enables homeowners with higher-valued properties to access more equity. ​MLS Reverse Mortgage

  • Demographic Trends: As the population ages, more seniors are exploring financial solutions like reverse mortgages to support their retirement, contributing to market expansion.​

While these factors suggest a positive trajectory for reverse mortgages in 2025, it's essential for potential borrowers to assess their individual financial situations and consult with financial advisors to determine if this option aligns with their retirement goals.​
