Delaware mortgage rates jumped higher to end the week last week as the mortgage bond market fell off a cliff on Thursday, January 3, 2013, when the Federal Reserve Meeting Minutes were released and showed that the Federal Reserve wants to end the mortgage bond buying program by mid 2013 instead of continuing till 2014 as was implied from earlier meetings.  This news weighed on both the stock market and the bond market. The bond dropped even lower on Friday to open but was able to claw its way back to where it ended the day on Thursday. This was bullish move so we recommend FLOATING your Delaware Mortgage Rate to start to the week to see if mortgage bonds can continue the bullish run and try to recover what we lost from The Federal Reserve Meeting Minutes.

Delaware mortgage rates were able to move lower after a two-week run-up in mortgage rates. The mortgage bonds were able to bounce off support as “The Fiscal Cliff” talks in Washington have stalled and no clear sign that a deal will be reached before December 31, 2012. If Congress fails to act and pass a bill to deal with the Fiscal Cliff then tax rates will increase for everybody for 2013. The Healthcare Law also imposes additional taxes in 2013 and mandatory budget cuts go into effect from a deal reach in 2011 to deal with raising the debt ceiling. The Congressional Budget Office estimates this will remove about $600 billion from the economy which will put the U.S. back into a recession. Keep Reading...

Delaware Mortgage Rates ended the week higher because of a bounce back in the stock market and supply selling pressure. The rates are still near record lows and could bounce back to record lows in the weeks to come as there is still much uncertainty in the market surrounding the pending “Fiscal Cliff” and the Debt Crisis in Europe. There is still no deal that has been reached on the “Fiscal Cliff” and time is running out for Congress to reach a comprise. If a deal is reached then that could move home loan rates higher as the stock market would rally on the news. So we need to watch carefully and if it looks like the deal may be struck then I would recommend LOCKING your Delaware mortgage rate but we can FLOAT for now. Congress has delayed its Holiday break to stay and work on a deal for the Fiscal Cliff. Keep Reading...

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.
