These sellers include the Wall Street agents who offer warehouse or the storehouse investing for the money lenders.

The biggest reason is the lack of buyers in the secondary mortgage market, which increases risk and cost for lenders. Unlike conforming loan products, there is no government backed Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to buy up high balance mortgages once a lender has originated the loan.
