Word of the Week: Mortgages

By: Whitney Tyner, PR Coordinator | September 12, 2008

Everyone at Zillow (and maybe across the country) seems to be stuck on mortgages.  With the launch of Mortgages Unzipped on Wednesday, the Zillow team is drinking the jumbo loan Kool-Aid and dreaming of APR’s, mortgages rates, a mortgage blog, mortgage help…the list goes on and on. TGIF. Heck, with all this press, Fannie and Freddie may even pop up on the “Top 1000 Baby Names” list for 2009 ( FYI: Fredd(y) is currently #620).

If you haven’t had enough of mortgage speak this week, then check out the Zillow Discussion Boards and chime in over the weekend with your questions and opinions on Fannie, Freddie, and the like. There’s a great conversation going on “Govt bail out Freddie and Fannie, what does it mean for me?” that breaks down the news in plain English. I found it helpful — hopefully you will too.

For more info on everything Mortgages, tune in to Mortgages Unzipped and Zillow Mortgage Marketplace.

    Wait for it, wait for it… there it is… INFLATION. 6 months from now you will understand the effects of the current crisis when you look at mortgage rates.
