What this means for a borrower
- Half of the 7(a) loans approved for residential remodelers were between $30,000 and $150,000, and the median was $75,000, 62% below the all-industry median of $198,300. A request well above $150,000 would be larger than three in four 7(a) loans recorded here.
- 65.5% of 7(a) loans here were under $150,000 (all-industry: 40.6%).
- 504 loans were 2.8% of the loans counted here (all-industry: 11.7%), with a median 504 amount of $465,500.
- 378 lenders (counted by name as recorded in the data) approved at least one 7(a) loan here. The 10 most active by count made 68.7% of 7(a) loans, so 7(a) lending here is concentrated among a small group of lenders.
- 7(a) approvals went from 636 in FY2020 to 1,511 in FY2025, up 138%.
These are counts of approved loans. The data does not show applications that were declined or withdrawn, so it says nothing about approval odds, and past volume is not a forecast for any individual request.
