TREE NEWS reports: Freddie Mac said the US 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 7.03% last week, the highest since January 16, 2025, from 6.95% a week earlier. It was the fifth consecutive weekly increase, pushing the benchmark home-loan rate back above 7% for the first time since early last year.
US 30-Year Mortgage Rate Tops 7% for First Time Since Early Last Year
AI take
The symbolic 7% threshold matters less than the direction: five straight weekly increases signal that the repricing in long-dated yields is persistent, not a blip. That squeezes affordability for prospective buyers and removes refinancing incentive for existing borrowers, keeping housing activity subdued. The open question is whether this streak extends or reverses, since the mortgage rate is ultimately tracking the same long-end dynamics that shape rate-sensitive corners of crypto and RWA markets.
