US mortgage rates brush 7%, weighing on buyers, sellers and further straining a bleak housing market
📍 The outcome
{ "epilogue": "US mortgage rates rose for the fourth straight week, approaching 7% and reaching their highest level since January 2025 following the Federal Reserve's actions. The soaring rates and high prices further strained the housing market and put homeownership out of reach for buyers and sellers.
Subsequent coverage noted that rates were mostly higher, though some reports indicated they moved back near the lows of the week." }
