Credit repull but rate not locked

So my credit repull was today n got good news my husbands credit moved to a new bracket 715, I am at 770 so of course his score counts for the rate we get. But when I asked the Lo he said we will lock later on to get a better rate Can he lock the rate any time up

until the 14 day deadline? How does it work ? Anyone in similar situations

Re: Credit repull but rate not locked

From what I understand you can lock in later, typically the later you lock the better the rate. But you risk the market going up. Right now the rates are almost the lowest they have been in a year. Around 2.8. You should be ok.

In the last 2 weeks, it has ranged from 2.8 to 3.1. Back in March it got up to 3.2. Last year the highest it went was 3.4.

How far out are you from closing?

 

For loans closing in less than 15 days cautiously float, and watch the technicals. If those two levels discussed above come into play near the end of the day, we may want to consider locking some of these loans or even all of them, depending on what kind of pricing you got this morning.

 

For loans closing in 15-30 and 30+ days, float. Even if we see some pullback heading into next week, which is possible, I still think we see better rates/pricing over the next couple of weeks.
