Delaware mortgage rate weekly update with John R. Thomas

Delaware mortgage rates have started the week higher than last week as the bond market sold off last week in response to 3 things. First, the Federal Reserve statements said the economy is improving and there was no mention of QE3. Former Fed Governor Doesn’t see a QE3. Second, the problems in Europe have a temporary solution, there was a bailout deal signed for Greece. Third, we are seeing inflation in the consumer price index start to kick in which is always bad for mortgage bonds. These 3 things caused a major sell-off in the bond market which has caused mortgage rates to rise almost 0.5% from the beginning of last week.
