In general, it's suggested that you lock in your rate if you’re less than 30-60 days from closing. If you’ve already locked in a mortgage rate, talk to your lender about “float-down” options. There’s a chance you could still use this strategy to lower your rate before closing. Your lender can advise you about the best time to lock in your rate.
No, rates will never get to 0% for a variety of reasons. Mortgage rates today are driven by movements in financial markets worldwide. When the economy heats up, bond price drops, and rates increase. When the economy pulls back, interest rates tend to fall. The average mortgage rate shifts daily but has been low compared to historical rates.
The pre-approval process may take one to three days if you have all documentation ready to provide to the lender. Getting the required documentation to the lender quickly will allow your pre-approval process to go smoother and more quickly. After you are pre-approved, you will receive a pre-approval letter as evidence that you have a lender that has already verified your assets. The letter is typically valid for sixty to ninety days.
