Mortgage Information

HSH® Associates, Financial Publishers, is the nation's largest publisher of mortgage and consumer loan information. Our 25 years of nonstop service has earned a reputation as the best source for current and accurate loan information -- as witness our frequent media appearances.

HSH is an objective, independent source of information. We do not make or broker mortgages, and we're not beholden to any lender. Read what people say about our products and services.

Our Editorial Survey

Every week, as we have for over 25 years, we collect current data from 2,000 mortgage lenders coast to coast. Every institution in our database is contacted directly, branch by branch, to obtain reliable data. Rigorous quality control procedures ensure that the data are believable.

Our clients include the media, Fortune 500 companies, lenders, mortgage shoppers, and state and Federal regulators. They rely upon our information because it is the best available -- from any source. Lenders do not pay us to include them in our reports. Our Website is the only portion of our business that accepts advertising -- and only in areas clearly labeled as advertising forums.

HSH is the exclusive source for objective, editorial daily mortgage statistics -- not derived from advertised rates. You won't find such believable stats anywhere else, on or off the Web.

And because we're a consumerist organization, we don't hesitate to tell it like it is. Our products for mortgage-shopping consumers provides the same objective advice we've offered since HSH was founded in 1979.

Mortgage and finance industry professionals also benefit from our careful, painstaking research. In addition to our industry-standard loan competition reports, we offer customized management summaries and other products for lenders, secondary marketers, wholesalers, and others.

We also maintain an extensive national database of home equity line of credit products, auto loans, and other installment loans from major metro areas nationwide. Surveys of any type of financial product may be commissioned.

HSH also offers a wide range of services to our clientele including -- but certainly not limited to -- customized surveys of any product, custom- generated statistics, trend analysis, loan archives dating back a decade and more, research services, rate-sheet services, and more.

Internet Services

HSH's mortgage information -- including our daily statistics and other valuable content -- is the centerpiece of our own extremely popular website, a resource site which draws tens of thousands of visitors daily. (Have a website? You are welcome to use our free content.)

We track a variety of Adjustable Rate Mortgage indexes and make them available on our websites. Servicers and others subscribe to our Daily Index Update Service to receive the latest indexes every business morning via web service or other method.
