Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Inman News: Inman is a broader real estate and mortgage trade media outlet with news, events (Inman Connect), and awards. It overlaps with NMP on mortgage news and professional events but also covers real estate agents and brokerage, making it a broader incumbent rather than a pure mortgage specialist.
• Yahoo Finance: Yahoo Finance is a broad financial media incumbent that covers mortgage rate news, Fed policy, and housing market data. It competes with NMP for general mortgage audience attention on digital channels but operates at a much larger scale without NMP's niche segmentation.
• Bloomberg Real Estate: Bloomberg is a broad financial media incumbent that covers mortgage-backed securities, housing finance, and rate markets at the institutional level. While it serves institutional rather than originator audiences, it competes for executive attention and premium advertising budgets in the same broader media ecosystem.

Emerging players

• Reverse Mortgage Daily (RMD): Reverse Mortgage Daily is a niche trade outlet focused exclusively on the reverse mortgage segment, which NMP also covers within its broader portfolio. It competes for reverse-mortgage advertisers (e.g., Finance of America HECM business) that NMP serves through its Reverse section.
• The Mortgage Reports: The Mortgage Reports is a consumer-facing mortgage content site that also operates industry/news verticals. While primarily consumer-focused, it competes with NMP for SEO-driven mortgage traffic and overlaps in rate analysis content similar to NMP's Master The Markets video series.

Others

• Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA): MBA is the principal mortgage industry trade association that NMP covers as a media partner. It operates its own events (MBA Annual), research, and newsletters, making it both an upstream content source and a partial competitor for executive audience attention and event sponsorship dollars.

Direct peers

• National Mortgage News: National Mortgage News is a long-running trade publication covering the mortgage industry with news, analysis, and events targeting lenders and executives. It competes directly with NMP for institutional lender advertising and C-suite readership.
• HousingWire: HousingWire is the most direct competitor to NMP — a B2B trade media outlet serving mortgage and real estate professionals with daily news, magazines, awards programs (Vanguard Award), and industry events. Both compete for the same advertiser and audience base of originators, lenders, and executives.
• Scotsman Guide: Scotsman Guide is a long-established residential mortgage trade publication targeting loan originators, with print and digital editions, rankings, and educational content. It directly competes with NMP Magazine and NMP's regional titles for originator readership and lender advertising.
• Mortgage Professional America: Mortgage Professional America is a multi-platform B2B mortgage publication with news, magazine, newsletters, and events targeting brokers and originators. It directly overlaps with NMP's editorial coverage, niche segmentation, and event strategy.
