I knew it was going to be a rough morning today when my alarm went off and I found my cat Myrtle staring at the computer screen watching Social D’s “Don’t Drag Me Down.” (Excuse the language.) There was this email: “Rob, I’m thinking about leaving my company because it doesn’t offer 180- or 270-day rate locks. What do you think? We have trouble competing even with shorter term pricing. My current employer is allowing me to lock in a 60-day rate at 1 percent higher than the 10-day lock price, but my competition has stronger pricing than ours, and a few of the banks trounce everyone’s pricing.” 270-day rate locks? The longer the lock, the greater the risk. I am going to simplify this a little, but they’re light a light switch: figure either 0 percent will fund at that price, or 100 percent. Think of the lenders that offered that program at the beginning of 2020: none of those loans closed at those rates. Think of the lenders that offered that program at the beginning of 2022: every one of those loans will close at those rates. (More on long-term locks in the capital markets section.)
