Real estate editor Maryann Haggerty and columnist Elizabeth Razzi respond to a question adapted from a recent online chat.
If you are buying a house your rate should be locked for 60 days as a price cap but often if the rate drops below that the lending institute will match it.
As far as losing the chance to buy a house you like over 1 % on the interest rate it does not make sense. After all when you go to renew n 5 years or what ever the term is rates might be a lot higher then what? If you can not afford and interest rate of 10% on your mortgage I would be willing to say your over mortgaged.
