Negotiate Mortgage Rates:Locking In Your Rate |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mortgage interest rates fluctuate daily.
You should ask your lender about lock-in rates.
Your lock-in agreement should be in writing.
The lock-in-rate is good for a specified period of time, usually 30-60 days.
The lock-in-agreement only protects you in rising interest rates.
Lenders may charge a flat fee, a percentage of the mortgage amount, or a fraction of a percentage point for lock-in rates.
