Delaware Mortgage Rates were able to move lower last week as mortgage bonds rallied higher all week. If you look at the mortgage bond chart below you can see the short term trend for mortgage bonds is to move higher which has move mortgage interest rates lower. Mortgage bonds did sell off on Friday but were able to rally back to end the day. We are recommending cautiously FLOATING your Delaware Mortgage Rate to start the week. We recommend watching the market carefully as the bond market could try to sell off again on follow-through from Friday and move mortgage interest rates higher again in the short term. If the bond does sell off, we would quickly switch to a LOCKING stance.
