I locked in a rate but it if fell through. I found a new home two weeks later, can I use my same rate with the same lender?

Not necessarily, because interest rates change on a regular basis sometimes a few times throughout each day.

Unfortunately the answer is no.Rates can/do change daily & your rate lock is tied the property address.The good news is today's rates are still pretty close to what they were 2 weeks ago.| John Burke | Senior Mortgage Banker | Lending in ALL 50 states |Great Plains Bank | jburke@gpbankTX.net | (877)228-9069 | NMLS# 787231 |

Probably not. Most lenders and on most loan products, a rate lock is tied to a specific transaction and property. If the property changes, the rate lock is usually lost. However there are a couple lenders that will, on a case-by-case basis consider moving a lock to a different property. In today's crazy market, losing the lock may often be a blessing as rates are continuing to trend lower, allowing you to lock the new loan with better terms. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z Team of NEXA Mortgage ~ NMLS 40586 ~ Licensed in Arizona, California, Georgia, Oregon, and Washington.
