Delaware mortgage rates jumped up last week on Wednesday after Ben Bernanke made a speech on the state of the economy and the Federal Reserve Bond Buying Program. If you look at the mortgage bond chart below you can see the GIANT red candle on Wednesday, May 22, 2013.  The Red Candle means mortgage bonds sold off causing home loan rates to move higher. Mortgage rates have been moving higher since hitting all-time record lows on May 1, 2013. The trend as can be seen from the chart is for mortgage bonds to keep moving lower forcing rates higher. Mortgage bonds did hold a line of support on Thursday and Friday so we may be seeing a bottom here so we are recommending FLOATING your Delaware mortgage rate to start the week. But if mortgage bonds break below the line of support and continue trend lower we would recommend switching to a locking stance as interest rates will continue their trek higher. Keep Reading...

Delaware mortgage rates jumped higher on Friday, May 3, 2013, after a much better than expected April 2013 Jobs Report was released. If you look at the bond chart below you can see that mortgage bonds set another all-time record high on Wednesday, May 1, 2013, which caused mortgage rates to set another all-time record low. Mortgage bonds had been rallying and move rates lower but everything reversed on Friday after the release of the jobs reports. Mortgage bonds are not trending lower again which will cause mortgage rates to move higher. The bond did stop falling when it hit the 200-day moving average so we are recommending cautiously FLOATING your Delaware mortgage rate to start the week but if mortgage bonds fall below the 200 days moving average we will quickly switch to a locking stance.

Delaware mortgage rates remained at all-time record lows last week as mortgage bonds traded in a tight trading range near all-time record highs for the bond. We are recommending LOCKING your Delaware mortgage rate if closing in the next 30 days to start the week as rates are at record lows but bonds could sell off and move rates higher. If closing more than 30 days you can start the week cautiously FLOATING your interest rate but would quickly switch to a locking stance if bond breaks below the 200 days moving average. If you look at the bond chart below you can see that bonds traded in a narrow range and ended the week almost where they started. As long as the bond stays above the 200 day moving average rates will stay where they are but if breaks below the 200 days moving average could have sell off and rates could move higher fast. If you have been waiting to refinance your Delaware mortgage loan, now is the time to do it before rates move higher. Keep Reading...
