Rising inflation rates caused increased prices in building materials and, therefore, homes. If you’re like millions of others, you’ve held off on building your dream home, hoping that prices would fall again.

5 Reasons your Mortgage can Fall Through Your mortgage isn’t a ‘sure thing’ until you sign the closing papers. Until that point, anything can happen, which is why it’s so important to keep your financial and employment situation status quo. If you’re thinking about buying a home or are in the middle of the process, here are five things that could make you lose your loan approval. Changing Jobs When lenders approve you for a mortgage, they do so based on your employment and income. They assume your employment will remain the same, even though we all know that’s not always the case.
