Mortgage Rates Hit Three-Year High, Cooling Housing Market
Original: Highest Mortgage Rates in 3 Years Chills the Housing Market
Mortgage rates have climbed to their highest level in three years, and the effect is being felt across the housing market. Higher borrowing costs are pushing would-be buyers to the sidelines, dampening demand and slowing sales. The New York Times reports the trend is chilling a market that had been running hot, raising questions about how far home prices may soften if rates keep rising.
Why now: Rising mortgage rates directly affect home affordability, making housing costs a pressing concern for buyers and homeowners.
