What this means if you're buying in Milton
Market conditions shape the negotiation; your income, debts and the stress test decide what you can actually borrow. A lot of purchases here are new construction from a builder, which is a different transaction from a resale. Builder closings can be a year or more out, so you need a rate hold that reaches the closing date and a lender comfortable with a long hold — and you must be told, clearly, that your approval is re-verified before closing. If your income or debts change in between, the approval can be pulled. Budget for builder adjustments on closing too: development levies, utility hookups and similar charges are added at closing and are not covered by the mortgage.
