Applying for a new home loan

When buying a home, applying for financing can be very stressful for a lot of people, but it doesn't have to be. Hanson Real Estate works with many lenders in the San Diego area. Listed below are a few suggestions that will help you understand the process of applying for a loan.

1 – Create a list of questions about your loan program

Be sure you bring a list of questions for your loan officer, so he can explain the advantages and disadvantages of the various Mortgage programs. Your loan officer can help you to understand the differences between fixed and adjustable rate mortgages.

2 – Determine when to lock

When you lock in the interest rate, it indicates that the lender commits to the interest rates for the loan – often at the time the loan application is presented. By floating the rate, you can lock the rate at any time between the loan application day and the issuing of closing documents. Buyers who elect to float conclude that interest rates will dip in the near future. Click here to see the outlook for the next 90 days of interest rates.
