Interest Rates Surge Hits Housing Markets Hard
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Rising rates are crushing both homebuyer demand and price momentum across regions.
💡 Why it matters
Higher borrowing costs will further dampen real estate activity and add economic uncertainty globally.
Mortgage rates surged on Friday, September 25, 2026, alongside rising Treasury yields, while UK annual house price growth halved to 0.8% in September, with prices falling 0.2% month-on-month to £274,251.
