Are you planning on buying a house for sale in Auburn or buying a home for sale in Opelika and are wondering what a mortgage rate lock is?  A mortgage rate lock is a commitment by a lender to give you a home loan at a specific interest rate, provided you close on your home in a certain period of time (which is typically 30 days from when you’re approved for your loan). This rate lock offers protection against fluctuating interest rates—useful considering that even a quarter of a percentage point can take a huge bite out of your housing budget over time.What Is a Mortgage Rate Lock?
