We offer locks for 30, 45 and 60 day periods. Refinance transactions may be locked at the time of loan application. Purchase transactions may be locked once you have an accepted offer on a property. You may apply and request a lock online, 24/7.
Request a rate lock confirmation from your licensed loan officer and, when your rate is locked, you will receive a Loan Estimate indicating your loan is locked and for what negotiated lock period.
No, we do not have any fees to lock your loan.
At the time we are ready to draw your loan documents, if our posted rates are more than .25% lower than the rate you locked (for the same or less points, or the same or more rebate), you may float down your rate by .125%.
Delays caused by you, include but are not limited to, delays caused by the subordination of an existing second mortgage or home equity line, not supplying supporting documentation within 48 hours of our request or delaying appraisal inspections or document signing appointments.
You may but your rate and points (or rebate) will be based on the pricing in place on the date of your original lock. Please take the time upfront to choose the program and rate that is best for you.
If you cancel your application and reapply within 60 days, your rate and points (or rebate) will be the based on the worst case between the pricing in place on the date of your original lock or the date of your new lock. Please take the time upfront to choose the program and rate that is best for you.
If you let your rate lock expire and relock within 60 days, your rate and points (or rebate) will be the based on the worst case between the pricing in place on the date of your original lock or the date of your new lock.
On a refinance transaction, if the savings you will achieve with the new lower rate will recapture the closing costs of the loan in a relatively short period of time, you should probably go ahead and lock your rate and close your loan. Trying to time the bottom of an interest rate cycle is tricky and each month you delay costs you in the form of carrying a higher interest rate on your old loan. If rates fall further, you can always refinance again.
On purchase transactions, in times of stable interest rates, most customers lock when they are within 30 days of closing. Locking for a period longer than 30 days increases the cost of the loan slightly but is sometimes a good idea if rates are volatile. If your closing is more than 30 days out, we recommend you compare rates and points on our website and make your decision accordingly.
