US mortgage rates have climbed for the fourth consecutive week, with the average 30-year fixed rate reaching 6.95%, the highest level since January 2025. Rising borrowing costs are limiting homebuyers' purchasing power and causing many to delay buying. This increase is driven by higher inflation expectations, surging oil prices, and the Federal Reserve's recent interest rate hike aimed at controlling inflation. The Fed's move signals potential further rate increases, which could keep mortgage rates elevated and continue to pressure the housing market, already struggling with high prices and low inventory.
Mortgage rates nearing 7% mark a peak not seen since January 2025, reflecting rising borrowing costs that affect homebuyers.
