Tekedia Capital analysis flagged the US 30-year fixed mortgage rate at 6.55%, sustaining affordability pressure across the housing market.
Higher rates tied to Treasury yields, inflation expectations, Fed policy, keeping borrowing costs well above sub-3% pandemic lows.
Affordability squeeze seen curbing first-time buyer demand, extending renter tenure, shifting searches to lower-cost regions.
Lock-in effect limiting resale supply as owners resist trading low-rate mortgages for new loans at current rates, supporting prices.
Builders leaning on incentives such as mortgage-rate buydowns, while prolonged high rates risk slower housing activity, weaker spillovers to growth.
