Delaware mortgage rates ended the week much better than they started!  Mortgage Rates got significantly lower to end the week on August 24, 2012, as the bond market recovered much of what was lost the previous week.  Mortgage rates are once again almost at all time historic lows which makes it the perfect time to refinance your current Delaware home loan or purchase a new home in Delaware.

The big rally in mortgage rates started with poor numbers on jobless claims and then rates moved much lower after the Federal Reserve Meeting minutes were released which hinted that QE3 might be coming at the next meeting in September. The Feds read on the economy is that it is still very week and will probably need some more stimulus to get it going toward a recovery. We are still recommending LOCKING your Delaware mortgage rate as the market is still very volatile as can be seen from Friday’s bond market which was up then ended down after Ben Bernake sent a letter to Congress about what the Federal Reserve can still do to stimulate the economy. The release of the letter caused a rally in the stock market taking some steam out of the bond market rally.

There was some good news last week as Existing Home Sales and New Home Sales both rose in July 2012 from June’s number. This was definitely a step in the right direction and might provide some evidence to the theory that we may be at a housing bottom, but we still have a ways to go. The Delaware Real Estate Market has shown some improvement but there are still plenty of great deals on homes.  Now is a great time to look at purchasing a home in Delaware as rates are at all time historic lows and home prices are about where they were in 2004!

I am recommending LOCKING in your Delaware Mortgage Rate if you are closing in the next 30 days to take advantage of the lowest rates ever in history! Call 302-703-0727 to schedule a free mortgage consultation to get pre-approved for a mortgage to purchase a home or to refinance your existing mortgage to lower your rate and save thousands of dollars in interest.
