Housing Wire is the premier independent source for news, commentary and analysis on the mortgage finance industry. Our focus on connecting both the primary and secondary mortgage markets is unique, as is our commitment to providing completely free, top-notch content.

More than 50,000 industry professionals each month, from Main Street to Wall Street, have already come to rely on Housing Wire for the daily news and insight they need to stay on the leading edge. And more are discovering HW every day, purely by word of mouth.

An industry-led news source.
Housing Wire began in late 2006 as an industry blog, offering a down-to-earth, personal, and independent perspective on mortgage finance. It’s an approach that has won over thousands of industry executives and managers in less than one year – purely on a word-of-mouth basis – who have come to rely on HW’s daily insight to help them understand where the market is today, and where it’s headed next.

2008 marks the emergence of HW as a new addition to mortgage finance trade media, although our focus remains unchanged. It’s still our mission to ensure that we provide broadly-available, easily-accessible, and completely free information that meets the needs of an ever-changing industry.

Is it a blog? Is it a news service? Yes!
Housing Wire blurs the line between traditional news and blogging, because we think there’s little point in separating the two – after all, time is money, and our readers are the kind of people that want to make the most of both.

Our unique approach means that HW’s coverage is unlike any other in the mortgage trade:

• Highlights, and often links into, relevant and exceptional coverage appearing elsewhere – our readers rely on HW to give them real-time insight into housing and mortgage banking, whether or not we’re the ones breaking the story.
• Insight from the Web’s best thinkers – some of the brightest minds in the industry are independent writers; HW is plugged into the blogosphere in ways traditional media outlets simply can’t be.
• Trends in the broader financial markets – mortgage finance doesn’t live in a vacuum, which is why HW’s coverage isn’t limited, either. We provide the general market insight our readers need to understand the bigger picture.
• Our opinions are always front-and-center – if there’s a comment on the news that we feel needs to be said, we’ll write it; odds are, we’re already thinking what the industry is thinking. (And if not, we provide the tools that let readers have their say, too.)
