    I was wondering about another mortgage blog website so I hope it's ok to ask  here.  A year or two ago I read a site that had a similar name.  The guy had 2 main parts to his site, one where he talked about the mortgage market to professionals (with terms and concepts that were a bit complicated) and one where he broke it down to simple terms for average users.

    He also had a final statement every day saying suggesting whether to lock or not depending on how far out your closing was.

    Does anyone know what that site is?

     

    Thanks!

    I believe you have returned to the same site.  There have been a lot of changes to the content and interface in that past 6 months. 

    Check out the Blogs/News section above.  The Mortgage Rate Watch area is for consumers and the MBS Commentary is geared toward mortgage professionals.

    Weird... maybe it is.  I thought the address was right but it does look so different.  Thanks for pointing out the different parts of the blog for me, I had thought those were just links to other sites...

    Kent is right.  You are describing the older version of this website. 

    "one where he talked about the mortgage market to professionals" = MBS Commentary Blog

    "one where he broke it down to simple terms for average users" = Mortgage Rate Watch

    Here's a link to a site which I believe the author only considers the 10YR Treasury.  so, it's not as accurate as this one.  But a lot of times the verbage is good, ie, for passing on to borrowers.    Also, a link to the SIFMA site which shows MBS action on a 15 minute update.

    This site here's the best one though.

    Ask about the War Room if you are a mortgage professional.
