Convenient time to look for a new loan with the rates dropping so quickly.

I just closed escrow and thought I locked a great rate a month ago. Would have been nice to extend another month and start over now.

I guess all I needed was good sob story, with some distractions built-in (rent to me please, I have no where to live).

I would play hard-ball if I were you. Issue the notice to perform, put it back on the market and tell them to get a rental (corporate or whatever). With the low rates people’s price ranges have increased. You might get a better offer.

Although I will say for me the loan process was not fast, underwriting took a while and I had to extend escrow myself (but not start over).
