Common Mortgage Abbreviations
September 26, 2025 by Leave a Comment
There are so many abbreviations and acronyms in the mortgage process. As mortgage professionals, we’re so used to hearing these terms that some of us may not realize that not everyone may be aware what a DTI, AUS or MBS means.
Here’s a list of common mortgage abbreviations you may find useful. I’m sure I’ll be updating this as I come along other often used abbreviations. 🤓
By the way, if your mortgage professional talks in a language that’s difficult to understand, ask them to explain or maybe, find a different mortgage professional. I strongly believe that you should be able to make informed decisions about what is probably your largest debt on your greatest asset (your home) and your mortgage professional should be assisting in providing clarity.

It’s FED DAY! [Live Post] FED DROPS RATE QUARTER POINT
September 17, 2025 by Leave a Comment
It’s finally here. The day we think we’ve been waiting for…the wrap up of the two day FOMC meeting where it is highly expected that Fed Chair Powell will announce that the fed funds rate will be reduced 0.25. As I write this (9:45 am Seattle time) MBS (mortgage-backed securities, which mortgage interest rates are based on) are pretty flat – up about 1 basis point. They’re flat because the markets have already priced in the quarter point rate reduction by the Fed. So if the Fed announces that there is not going to be a reduction to the funds rate or if they decide to cut 0.50 – we will see some serious market reaction. [Read more…]
