Five-Year Fixed Mortgage Rate Hits 6% Barrier
💡 Why it matters
Rising mortgage rates will squeeze household budgets and cool housing demand further.
The average five-year fixed mortgage rate reached 6% for the first time in three years, driven by rising bond market turmoil and increased lender costs. The two-year fixed rate also climbed to 5.98%, the highest since December 2023.
