Your pre-approval hasnโt expired.
But have the numbers changed?
Todayโs inflation report showed core consumer prices rose 0.3% in September, while overall prices were 3.7% higher than a year ago. Treasury yields rose immediately after the release, putting upward pressure on mortgage pricing.
If your rate isnโt locked, the numbers behind your pre-approval may need a refresh.
Before submitting an offer, check:
๐ก Your total monthly payment, including the homeโs taxes, insurance and HOA dues.
๐ฐ Your cash to close, including current points, lender credits and closing costs.
๐ Whether your lender still supports that specific offer under current financing assumptions.
This doesnโt mean your pre-approval is invalid. It means your next decision deserves updated numbers.
