Is it required to lock my rate so underwrite will start working?

2020-10-01 8:56 am
I have about 20 more days before closing. Our agent tells me that I should lock my rate and pay the fee. I don't want to pay any fee and the rate seems will remain the same or go down in 20 days. Then the agent said if I don't lock my rate, the underwrite won't start working. Is this true? I don't see anything about lock my rate in any document I signed. It makes me feel being force and I don't know what to do.

It is Talyor Morrison. I guess I have to pay something regardless. (If I don't lock my rate, the underwriter won't do stuff and delay closing. I will need to pay the delay fee.)

Does your lender or the type of mortgage you are getting,  have a mortgage lock rate?
Not all do.  I wouldn't take one that did.

That said, you aren't going to see any significant changes in rates until after the election.  the rate go up a few pennies or down a few pennies = it could.  But nickle and dime-ing like that is a waste of time.In response to the comments:
- I don't know if your realtor is being truthful or not a about not working on the loan without a lock rate.  Your realtor shouldn't have anything to do with your loan.  You ask your mortgage broker.
- There isn't a "delay fee".  If you don't close on time your purchase contract is cancelled unless the seller wishes to extend it.
