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 by John R. Thomas

Delaware mortgage rates are still at all-time historic lows following last weeks very tame reading on inflation. We saw the Consumer Price Index (CPI) come in 0.3% lower for May 2012 and the Producer Price Index (PPI) also came in below expectations for May 2012. This shows both consumer inflation and wholesale inflation are both tame which was great news for mortgage bonds. The bad economic news coming out of Europe from Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland have also helped mortgage rates reach all-time record lows. The Greek people held elections on Sunday which supported the pro-austerity party. Keep Reading...

Delaware mortgage rate weekly update by John Thomas

Delaware mortgage rates have remained at all-time record lows as mortgage bonds have been trading on an upward trend line. Higher mortgage bond prices mean lower mortgage interest rates. Long term trend is for lower rates but short term we could some volatility and see rates move higher because of the supply of mortgage bonds hitting the market as well as treasury auction of 66 Billion in notes this week.

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...

New Castle County will no longer Exempt Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac from Transfer Tax effective June 14 2012

New Castle County Delaware ruled that effective June 14, 2012, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will NO LONGER be exempt from transfer taxes on the sale of homes.

The New Castle County law department has recently ruled on transfer taxes on transactions involving Fannie Mae (Federal National Mortgage Company) or Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Company). Historically, purchases from these entities have been treated as exempt from transfer tax as a conveyance from a governmental agency. In fact, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are NOT governmental agencies – they are federally chartered private corporations. New Castle County has decided to enforce that distinction starting on June 14, 2012. Keep Reading...

Delaware mortgage rates once again ended the week at all time historic lows as the bond market responded to the bad economic news released last week.
