About this mortgage news archive
How often is the Kellibrooke mortgage news archive updated?
The archive is reviewed throughout the year and publishes dated updates when new primary-source housing, mortgage-market, or policy information materially changes the picture for Texas borrowers.
Should I use an older mortgage news article to make a current decision?
Treat each article as a dated snapshot, not a promise that its figures or rules remain current. Follow the article's links to the relevant evergreen Kellibrooke guide and official source before making a current decision.
What sources does the mortgage news archive use?
Articles are checked against primary sources such as Unlock MLS, Freddie Mac, FHFA, HUD, the CFPB, and Texas government agencies. Each article identifies the sources used for its specific figures or policy discussion.
Where can I find current Texas loan limits or mortgage-rate context?
Use the current Texas loan-limit guides for county and unit-count limits, and the mortgage-rates-today guide for dated market context. Both point back to the controlling official sources and explain what the figures do and do not mean for a specific loan.
