Delaware Mortgage Rates were able to move lower last week as mortgage bonds were able to continue to rally. If you look at the mortgage bond chart below you can see the short term trend is for mortgage bonds to move higher and move Delaware mortgage rates lower. Mortgage bonds have rallied since the December Jobs Report came out worse than expected and recently we have seen a flight to quality from international investors who are moving money into U.S. Bonds and Treasuries as a potential currency devaluation occurs in emerging markets. We are recommending FLOATING your Delaware Mortgage Rate to start the week to see if bonds can build on the momentum we had last week. Mortgage bonds have broken through a ceiling of resistance which is a good short term sign for home loan rates. Keep Reading...

Delaware mortgage rates were able to end the week almost where they started after a volatile trading week. If you look at the mortgage bond chart below, you can see mortgage bond prices ended Friday about where they ended the previous Friday after the worse than expect December Jobs Report. The Market is closed on Monday so we are going to recommend cautiously FLOATING your Delaware mortgage rate to start the week to see if bonds can improve but if bonds start to sell off we will quickly recommend LOCKING as the long term trend is still for bonds to sell off and interest rates to climb higher.
