Delaware Mortgage Rates – December 10, 2008

John Thomas December 10, 2008

This is my daily advice on floating or locking your Delaware Mortgage Rate for Wednesday, December 10, 2008.

The stock market surged today on news of an auto bailout coming from capitol hill.  The mortgage-backed securities also surged today on expectations of the Feds buying mortgage-backed securities.  Rates have fallen to the lowest level in 5 years.

My advice is to carefully Float but consider locking in the gains we got today.  Rates are currently in the low 5s.

This is my daily advice on floating or locking your Delaware Mortgage Rate for Thursday, November 20, 2008.

The stock market sold off yesterday about 400 pts and the DOW closed down below 8,000. The projection for the economy is bad through-out 2009. Car makers are on capital hill begging for a bailout. Money is moving into treasuries this morning taking some of the money that would be moving into mortgage-backed securities.

Mortgage Backed Securities are slightly up this morning and are holding above the 200 day moving average. The stock market is moving lower again after jobless claims come out worse than expected, here is more info on jobless claims. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081120/ap_on_bi_go_ec_fi/economy If we can get some of this money to move into bonds instead of treasuries we could see rates start to fall.
