Mortgage Matters May 17, 2005

I’ve been really impressed with a daily column (blog?) by Holden Lewis put out by Bankrate that discusses issues related to mortgages.

I find the section he gives on the numbers to be particularly useful in putting a little perspective on how (and why) mortgage rates are changing.

If you in the market for a home loan (refinance? new home?), a few minutes reading his site could quickly bring you up to date on current market conditions.
