Mortgage Rates Hit 5-Month High at 6.43%

Mortgage rates are rising again—and it's starting to impact buyer demand. In this episode, we break down why the average 30-year mortgage rate has climbed to 6.43%, the highest level in five months, and what's driving the increase.

That's a sign more buyers are stepping back as affordability challenges grow. Are you looking for an investor friendly lender?
