Mortgage interest rates in the United States have risen for the sixth consecutive week, reaching their highest level since November 2023. This has led to a 6% decrease in home purchase applications and a 9% drop in refinancing activity. The average interest rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage has increased to 7.30%, with higher costs for points and fees, making financing more expensive and reducing borrowing among investors and individuals. The decline in refinancing demand was particularly significant, falling 56% compared to the previous year, reflecting the impact of rising interest rates on the U.S. real estate market.
