US mortgage rates rise above 7% for first time in 20 months
US mortgage rates have climbed above 7% for the first time in 20 months, a milestone for homebuyers already grappling with high property prices. The rise means significantly higher monthly payments on a typical home loan, and is being closely watched as a signal of pressure on the housing market and household affordability across the United States.
Why now: Rising borrowing costs directly affect homebuyers, homeowners and the housing market, making the 7% threshold a widely discussed affordability milestone.
