Can you lose your mortgage pre-approval? The short answer is yes.
A mortgage pre-approval is an important first step, but it isn't a final approval. Your lender will review your finances again before your mortgage is officially approved, so it's important to keep your financial situation as stable as possible.
Some things that could affect your approval include changing jobs or experiencing a drop in income, taking on new debt (like financing a vehicle or opening a new credit card), missing credit card payments, and using savings needed for your down payment or closing costs.
The good news? Most buyers have no issues moving from pre-approval to final approval by maintaining their income, avoiding new debt, staying on top of their payments, and purchasing within their approved budget.
