Delaware Mortgage Rate weekly update by John R. Thomas

Delaware mortgage rates hit an all-time record low last week but then drifter higher as traders took profits and sold off mortgage bonds at the end of the week.

Delaware mortgage rates set another all-time record low on Friday, July 6, 2012, after a very disappointing Jobs Report was released for June 2012.  The jobs report is released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The June Jobs report released that only 80,000 jobs were created in June which was well short of the anticipated 100,000 expected. There was also a revision of April and May job reports resulting in another 1,000 fewer jobs created than originally reported. We need about 150,000 new jobs each month just to keep up with population growth. Overall, employment growth during the second quarter of 2012 averaged about 75,000 jobs per month compared with more than 200,000 during the first quarter. Keep Reading...

Delaware mortgage rate weekly update July 2, 2012, by John Thomas

Delaware mortgage rates are still hovering at all time historic lows. The Euro Summit was held last week and Friday’s release of the news from the event moved the stock market higher and the bond market sold off. What emerged from the meeting was a concession by Germany to allow Eurozone Stability Mechanism (ESM) to help recapitalize the banks as long as they meet budgetary rules. They were also no more austerity measures to be imposed. This may seem like a solution but it is not as the ESM only has 500 Billion Euros available and Spain and Italy alone have a combined 2.4 Trillion in government debt. This deal has also upset Greece who not wants fewer austerity measures because Spain and Italy have gotten the go-ahead for the bailout without all the restrictions placed on Greece. Keep Reading...

Delaware mortgage rate weekly update with John Thomas

Delaware mortgage rates set an all-time record low after bad news coming out of the Eurozone and with the lowest read on consumer inflation since February 2011. The European Central Bank told Greece it would no longer provide funding to Greece Banks. The ECP will not bail out Greek Banks and said funding must come from Greece. This has put concerns that Greece may be left with only one option which would be leaving the European Union. Spain was also in the news because it is in a recession that may last throughout 2013. This means Spain could be the next Greece. Keep Reading...
