Mortgage News Daily

What Mortgage News Daily does

Mortgage News Daily (MND) is a privately held U.S. mortgage and housing market information platform headquartered in Cornelius, North Carolina, operating under Mortgage News Daily, LLC since 2008. The company aggregates and publishes daily mortgage rate commentary, MBS (Mortgage-Backed Securities) and Treasury price data, and comprehensive housing market data (building permits, housing starts, home sales, home price indices, builder confidence) sourced from MBA, Freddie Mac, FHFA, NAHB, and U.S. Census Bureau releases. Its core product is a web-based content platform serving consumers and industry participants, complemented by a wholly-owned subsidiary called MBS Live that delivers real-time streaming MBS and Treasury data with reprice alerts, advanced charting, and co-branded marketing tools to mortgage professionals.

MBS Live is offered in three subscription tiers — Lite ($48.95/month), Standard ($68.95/month), and MBS Live+ ($128.95/month), with annual billing offering approximately two months free and group accounts available at up to 50% discount. The platform is accessed via web dashboard, native iOS/Android applications, and email newsletter, with charting powered by a TradingView integration. Revenue is generated through tiered subscriptions, third-party display advertising, and a freemium content funnel in which a free daily newsletter and free rate-tracking pages convert users into paid MBS Live subscribers.

The customer base consists primarily of U.S. mortgage professionals (loan officers, brokers, bankers) and housing industry participants (home builders, real estate agents) seeking real-time rate intelligence and market commentary, with a secondary consumer audience of home buyers and homeowners using free rate pages and calculators. The company has established a CNBC video syndication partnership providing earned media visibility in tier-one financial media, and the founder (Matt Graham) maintains a daily presence in the MBS Live community chat, reinforcing the platform's positioning as a workflow-critical daily tool rather than a passive news site.

Direct peers

• HousingWire: HousingWire is a mortgage and real estate industry news and data publisher targeting the same loan officers, brokers, and housing professionals as Mortgage News Daily, with overlapping editorial coverage and sponsored-content advertising.
• National Mortgage News: National Mortgage News covers U.S. mortgage industry news, regulation, and capital markets for a similar professional audience. It competes directly for the attention of MND's mortgage professional readership.
• Mortgage Professional America: Mortgage Professional America is a trade publication covering mortgage origination, technology, and industry trends for U.S. and Canadian mortgage professionals, directly comparable to MND's editorial focus.
• Inside Mortgage Finance: Inside Mortgage Finance is a long-standing mortgage industry news and data publisher providing news, rankings, and market intelligence to lenders and investors — directly overlapping with MND's professional audience.
• Scotsman Guide: Scotsman Guide is a residential mortgage industry publication covering originations, technology, and best practices for loan officers and brokers — a comparable trade-news product with subscription elements.
• The MBS Highway: The MBS Highway provides real-time MBS market commentary, rate forecasts, and trading tools targeted at the same mortgage professional audience that subscribes to MBS Live, making it a direct competitor in the premium MBS data tier.

Emerging players

• Calculated Risk: Calculated Risk is a widely-read economics and housing market blog that covers mortgage rates, housing starts, and home sales. It overlaps with MND's free housing data and news content but lacks a premium real-time MBS product.

Broad incumbents

• Bloomberg: Bloomberg offers institutional-grade MBS, Treasury, and mortgage-related market data and news as part of a much broader financial data terminal. It is a broad incumbent with overlapping capabilities at the high end of the market.
• ICE (Intercontinental Exchange): ICE, owner of Mortgage Technology and legacy MERS infrastructure, provides mortgage data, analytics, and securitization data services to lenders and investors. It is a broad incumbent competing for institutional mortgage data spend.
• Optimal Blue: Optimal Blue is a leading provider of mortgage pricing and product eligibility technology for lenders, with secondary marketing data analytics. It overlaps with MBS Live's secondary-market visibility but at the lender-enterprise level rather than individual LO level.
