Delaware mortgage rates drifted higher last week as the stock market rallied. Mortgage bonds have traded in a range for the past two weeks.  We are recommending LOCKING your Delaware mortgage rate if closing in the next 15-30 days but recommend floating longer term as rates could improve by bouncing off support. Short term risk is for rates to move higher as bonds are trading below the 50 days moving average and could fall lower.  The long term outlook for mortgage rates is for staying low as the economic factors are still negative.

Delaware Mortgage Rates were able to improve this week so our recommendation to float your Delaware mortgage rate lock till this week was good advice. We are recommending taking advantage of this dip lower in interest rates, so recommend LOCKING your Delaware mortgage rate.  The bond market experienced a run up at the expense of stocks after President Obama won a second term. The stock market dropped on Wednesday which allowed mortgage rates to improve as money moved into the bond market. Mortgage rates are touching all-time record lows again. Keep Reading...

Delaware mortgage rates were able to improve from last week and Friday were able to rebound after good news from the Jobs Report. The trading pattern on Friday showed the mortgage bond bouncing off technical support and ending the day strong which supports a pattern of the bond moving higher. So we are recommending FLOATING your Delaware mortgage rate to see if rates can go lower as the bond rises. Friday saw the October 2012 Jobs Report showing 171,000 jobs created and revised the last two months upward by 84,000. The unemployment rate actually ticked up from 7.8% to 7.9% for October 2012 even though we had an upward revision of jobs. The slight increase in unemployment is because more people started looking for work again. Keep Reading...

The Federal Reserve QE3 program was also a boost to the bond market as it is continuing to purchase mortgage bonds. Keep Reading...
