IMHO, today will be a good day to lock an interest rate on your purchase if you do it first thing this morning. The US stock market was down nearly 200 points yesterday. Asia followed while you were eating dinner yesterday on the east coast, with a drop of more than 233 points on the NIKKEI index. It's the middle of the night on the west coast right now, and Europe is still in the up column, but barely, on news that business confidence in Germany unexpectedly rose this month. US index futures are up, so if you're going to lock, lock early.
