Your not obligated, but talk with your broker and see what else he can offer. You can always walk away if you don't like what you hear.

Most lenders allow you to lock into that pricing at the time of the lock. So if you cant afford the points. You would be able to take a higher rate but keep the same pricing you locked in at less or no points.

If you ask your broker to lock then change your mind, you are under no obligation at all. However, when you back out of a locked rate, you are really dumping on the broker. Pull through ratios are very, very important in this business: percentage of locked loans that go to settlement.

You can have your broker use a different lender that they havent locked with but you may end up with a higher rate.
What points cant you afford? Is this a refinance?
