  • Mortgage Market Update – June 21, 2010
    What an exciting week last week turned out to be and that will likely continue through this one as well.  Shortly after my delayed post last week and after airing my radio show, MBS prices tanked and caused all of those rate alert services to post lock alerts, though I never changed ..

  • Mortgage Rate Forecast
    I think it is fair to say we had an interesting week last week, and one that was full of surprises, but we may end up being less surprised than we thought.  Only time will tell for sure, but one thing that is coming is change in the format of this report.  ..
