Mortgage and Loan News from Official Sources
This section covers mortgage rate data, housing finance regulation, and economic developments that affect borrowers. All data and statistics cited in our articles come exclusively from official government agencies and government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) publications. We do not cite lender-sponsored research, brokerage data, or publications with undisclosed commercial relationships.
Weekly Mortgage Rate Coverage
Freddie Mac publishes its Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS) every Thursday, reporting the average rate on 30-year and 15-year fixed-rate mortgages based on actual loan applications submitted through its Loan Product Advisor platform. The PMMS is the most widely cited benchmark for conventional mortgage rates in the United States. We publish a rate update article every Thursday, the same day the PMMS releases, with context on rate trends, payment impact at current levels, and guidance for buyers and refinancers.
Agency and Regulatory Coverage
We cover significant releases from the Federal Reserve (FOMC meeting statements and minutes), the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA house price index and conforming loan limit announcements), the Mortgage Bankers Association (weekly mortgage applications survey), Fannie Mae (housing and economic forecasts), FHA and HUD (loan limit updates and program changes), and the CFPB (regulatory guidance and consumer protection actions affecting mortgage borrowers).
