Delaware mortgage rates jumped higher to end the week last week as the mortgage bond market fell off a cliff on Thursday, January 3, 2013, when the Federal Reserve Meeting Minutes were released and showed that the Federal Reserve wants to end the mortgage bond buying program by mid 2013 instead of continuing till 2014 as was implied from earlier meetings.  This news weighed on both the stock market and the bond market.
