What are Rate Lock Periods
Rate Lock Periods secure a set interest rate for your loan within a specific timeframe, typically 15 to 60 days or more, varying among lenders.
Rate Lock Periods offer stability and predictability in a fluctuating market, shielding you from potential rate increases during the specified period.
When applying for a mortgage or refinance, your lender may present different Rate Lock Period options tailored to your needs and financial objectives.
Points to Know
Longer Rate Lock Periods provide extended rate protection, ideal for those expecting a more extended loan process or wishing to secure rates well in advance.
Shorter Rate Lock Periods often come with lower associated costs, suitable for those anticipating a swift loan closing.
Assess current market conditions, estimate loan processing times, evaluate risk tolerance, and ensure flexibility in case of unforeseen circumstances
