High mortgage rates compound housing affordability challenges

New reporting highlights that elevated mortgage rates are making home buying increasingly difficult, adding to an already severe housing affordability crisis. With borrowing costs remaining high, would-be buyers face larger monthly payments and reduced purchasing power, while renters and low-income households continue to struggle. The coverage underscores growing concern that affordability will remain a pressing economic and political issue until rates ease or housing supply expands.

Why now: Mortgage rates remain high, keeping housing costs at the top of economic concerns for households and policymakers.
