Mortgage rates for a 30-year fixed loan have climbed to about 7.46%, nearing 7.5% earlier than expected, increasing monthly payments by over $300 on a $400,000 loan compared to last year. Homebuilders like Lennar are responding by reducing profit margins through costly rate buydowns to keep buyers interested, though new orders and earnings have declined. Despite higher rates causing a drop in refinancing and home sales, builder stocks have shown some resilience. The market awaits upcoming rate data to gauge if margin pressures will continue into the fourth quarter.
