Can you lock in a rate with one lender and then use another lender for the loan if the rates drop after the lock?

most brokers/lenders will not let you do this...if you are waiting on rates to go back down thats going to be a long wait...

By long are you anticipating sept-oct? That's my guess based on trend

What is down? Back to last year; no. Lower than now, yeah. There is always a cyclical scenario with rates. It has been less predictable lately.

Yeah it's weird. Prime is still 3.25, which is nice for my little 40k 2nd. I think by sept-oct we see a 4-4.25 through 2013. At least I hope, I have 3 first time buyers going new construction set to close in sept-nov who are up in arms over 4 and change 30 year money

Apparently they learned how to use an amortization calculator and factored in 3.50%
