Quick Answer
Dry funding generally describes a process in which closing documents are signed before loan funds are actually disbursed. The term is often contrasted with wet funding.
Potential reasons:
"I signed, so I'm done."
Not necessarily.
"They signed, so my money should be in my account."
Not necessarily.
Ask the actual closing team:
Wet funding generally makes loan funds available in connection with the closing, while dry funding generally separates document signing from actual lender funding. Practice varies by transaction.
Not necessarily. Funding, recording and disbursement are separate steps in many closings.
