Locking in a Mortgage Rate

Hi,

Any advice on locking in rates given the current market fluctuations? Would you just wait it out a little or lock in as soon as possible? Also, can you lock in before you sign a contract?

Thanks (from a newbie)

You cannot lock without a contract. I'd wait it out until the markets calm down. May be a few months, however.

I was able to lock an AMAZING rate with my mortgage broker this morning, and my contract won't be signed until next week.

You don't NEED a signed contract to lock your rate, but it's a good idea to ask your attorney first before locking.
