Mortgage Rates moved lower last week after disappointing Jobs Report for May 2017 was released. If you look at the mortgage bond chart below you can see mortgage bonds hit the high for 2017 after breaking through a tough ceiling of resistance at 200 day moving average and have hit the high not seen since the November US presidential elections. We are recommending FLOATING Your mortgage rate now that bonds have broken out of tight trading channel. We will be looking for bonds to close above the 200 day moving average on Monday and then this will be a new floor of support. If bonds fall below 200 day moving average then we would recommend locking your mortgage interest rate. Keep Reading...

Understanding Seller Paid Closing Costs

Seller Paid Closing Costs are negotiated between a home buyer and home seller during the initial offer process and are written into the sales agreement. Seller Paid Closing Costs are also called Seller’s Assistance. If the Seller Paid Closing Costs are not written into the contract then they don’t exist and will not be credited to the buyer at the settlement. Call 302-703-0727 to get pre-approved today and find out how much seller paid closing costs you will need or APPLY ONLINE

It is very important to understand that when you ask for the seller to pay money toward your closing costs that the seller is taking this money off the purchase price to give to the buyer at closing. For Example if you offer the seller $200,000 for their home and ask for $10,000 in seller paid closing costs, you are really only offering the seller $190,000 for their home. Keep Reading...
