Wall Street Journal opinion makes the case for higher mortgage rates
Original: Hurray for Higher Mortgage Rates https://www.wsj.com/opinion/hurray-for-higher-mortgage-rates-d31ff582?mod=rss_opinion #
A Wall Street Journal opinion piece is drawing attention for arguing that higher mortgage rates deserve celebration rather than dread. The column contends rising rates, while painful for homebuyers, may bring broader economic benefits, and it is circulating among readers debating housing affordability, Federal Reserve policy, and the state of the US housing market.
Why now: Mortgage rates remain near multi-decade highs, making any contrarian argument in their favor a lightning rod for debate about housing affordability.
