US Mortgage Rates Top 7%, Highest Since 2023
Original: mortgage
Mortgage rates in the United States have climbed above 7%, reaching their highest level since 2023 as Treasury yields rise. Major outlets including CNN, the New York Times and NBC News report that the increase is further freezing the housing market, forcing buyers to abandon typical purchase strategies and seek alternatives. Some agents argue that despite high borrowing costs, reduced competition still gives determined buyers an edge in certain markets like Washington, DC.
Why now: Mortgage rates hitting their highest point in nearly two years is squeezing homebuyers and rattling the housing market, making it a top financial concern.
