This link from the Fannie site will be helpful on understanding how they benchmark interest rates.

Most bond offering data is hard to research without a cusip number or a bond trader's access to copyrighted data. Check my post on the FMCC board that begins "Whispers emerge" for the most recent Freddie bond offer which will show you how the spreads are pegged. The IFR Markets News Report this is drawn from is protected and by law I am not allowed to post the link.
