Delaware mortgage rates continued their slow trek higher last week as mortgage bonds sold off to end the week. The stock market continues to rally and set a new record high. Money is continuing to move out of bonds into the stock market which is causing home loan rates to move higher. The bond chart below shows we are still trending lower for mortgage bonds and setting lower lows on the chart. This means it is prudent to LOCK your Delaware mortgage rate for any short term transactions closing in the next 30 days. Long term you can float as the stock market should pull back from its long run up and this would move home loan rates lower.
