Delaware mortgage rates jumped higher to end the week last week after a slew of positive economic reports. If you look at the mortgage bond chart below you can see mortgage bonds dropped lower every day and sold off on Friday to end the week so mortgage rates moved higher all week. Monday started the sell-off in bonds when the bond couldn’t close above the falling blue trend line. The same pattern repeated itself again last week which was bonds hitting the falling blue trend line and then being turned lower in a big sell-off. Bonds appear to have hit a bottom so we are going to recommend FLOATING your Delaware mortgage rate to see if the bond market can bounce higher but be on guard if selling continues bond could move significantly lower and mortgage rates could continue to move higher.
