When is the best time to lock in rates?

We’ve signed a contract for a new construction which will be finished by April 2023 in Anaheim. I want to ask when is a good time to lock in rates and for how long? Is a prelock for 180 days a good idea? How many days before closing should I lock my rate? by nicjones821 from Anaheim, California. Aug 23rd 2022 Reply
