Delaware mortgage rates are still at all-time historic lows but the mortgage bond sold off to end the week as some good economic news was released. Rates did move up to end the week but still remain new all-time historic lows. The big report that moved home loan rates higher was the unemployment rate for September 2012 had a drastic one month from 8.1% to 7.8%. This is the lowest since reading since 2009 and the first time unemployment number dropped below 8% in 44 months. The labor market created 114,000 jobs which were in line with expectations of 115,000 which wouldn’t have lowered the unemployment. The rate dropped because job reports for August and July were revised much higher.
