 Weighted average coupon interest rate on mortgage loans serviced for others  4.81    5.14  

The unpaid principal balances of BB&T's total residential mortgage loans serviced for others consist primarily of agency conforming fixed-rate mortgage loans. Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans and leases on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, BB&T sold residential mortgage loans from the held for sale portfolio and recognized pre-tax gains including the impact of interest rate lock commitments. These gains are recorded in noninterest income as a component of mortgage banking income. BB&T retained the related mortgage servicing rights and receives servicing fees.

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T had residential mortgage loans sold with recourse liability. In the event of nonperformance by the borrower, BB&T has recourse exposure for these loans. At both June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, BB&T has recorded reserves related to these recourse exposures. Payments made to date have been immaterial.

BB&T also issues standard representations and warranties related to mortgage loan sales to government-sponsored entities. Although these agreements often do not specify limitations, BB&T does not believe that any payments related to these warranties would materially change the financial condition or results of operations of BB&T.

Residential mortgage servicing rights are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of mortgage banking income in the Consolidated Statements of Income for each period. BB&T uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value due to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions of its residential mortgage servicing rights. The following is an analysis of the activity in BB&T's residential mortgage servicing rights:

     Residential Mortgage Servicing Rights 
     Six Months Ended June 30, 
      2012  2011 
           
     (Dollars in millions) 
 Carrying value, January 1, $ 563 $ 830 
  Additions   134   126 
  Increase (decrease) in fair value:       
    Due to changes in valuation inputs or assumptions  (38)   (20) 
   Other changes (1)  (81)   (57) 
 Carrying value, June 30,$ 578 $ 879 
           
           
(1)Represents the realization of expected net servicing cash flows, expected borrower payments and the passage of time. 

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, management revised its servicing costs assumptions in the valuation of residential mortgage servicing rights due to the expectation of higher costs that continue to impact the industry. The impact of these changes resulted in a $22 million reduction in the value of the residential mortgage servicing rights. The remainder of the net decrease is primarily due to the impact of a slight decrease in estimated prepayment speeds and increase in discount rates. The decrease in estimated prepayment speeds was primarily driven by lower prepayment speeds experienced in the portfolio. The increase in estimated discount rates is reflective of the current mortgage servicing rights market.

Refer to Note 14 for additional disclosures related to the assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights. The sensitivity of the current fair value of the residential mortgage servicing rights to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in key economic assumptions is included in the accompanying table:

       Residential 
       Mortgage Servicing Rights 
       June 30, 2012 
            
       (Dollars in millions) 
    Fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights  $ 578  
    Composition of residential loans serviced for others:     
     Fixed-rate mortgage loans    99% 
     Adjustable-rate mortgage loans    1  
      Total    100% 
    Weighted average life    4.0yrs 
            
    Prepayment speed    19.3% 
     Effect on fair value of a 10% increase  $ (34)  
     Effect on fair value of a 20% increase    (63)  
            
    Weighted average discount rate    10.8% 
     Effect on fair value of a 10% increase  $ (19)  
     Effect on fair value of a 20% increase    (37)  

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As indicated, changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights is calculated without changing any other assumption; while in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments), which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change.

Commercial Mortgage Banking Activities

BB&T also arranges and services commercial real estate mortgages through Grandbridge Real Estate Capital, LLC (“Grandbridge”) the commercial mortgage banking subsidiary of Branch Bank. The majority of these commercial mortgages were arranged for third party investors. Commercial real estate mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans and leases on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
