Higher mortgage rates are causing homeowners to hold onto their pandemic-era low-rate mortgages, slowing the housing market's recovery. Mortgages with rates below 3% now make up nearly 20% of outstanding loans, while newer loans with rates above 5% are growing but still represent a smaller share. This rate lock-in means fewer homeowners are refinancing or moving, limiting housing supply and keeping prices high. If rates stay above 6%, loans with rates of 6% or higher could reach nearly 28% of the market by mid-2027, further slowing market activity.
Mortgage rate lock-in is the subject, with Pluang's Financials sector data providing market context. As of Oct 22, 2026 16:02 WIB, 38 of 142 Financials stocks rose and 99 fell.
