Homeownership Dream Fades as Mortgage Rates Peak at 8%
-
最新报道：U.S. mortgage rates surged to 8% this week, marking the highest level since 2000 and further squeezing homebuyers amid persistent inflation. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 7.92%, up from 7.69% last week, while the 15-year rate hit 7.08%, according to Freddie Mac. Economists attribute the spike to strong economic data and the Federal Reserve's aggressive rate hikes, with housing affordability now at its worst in decades. Existing home sales have plummeted 15% year-over-year as buyers retreat, though new construction is filling some gaps. Analysts warn the housing market slump may continue until inflation cools and the Fed eases monetary policy.
