US 30-year mortgage rate 7.03% on 24 Sep, first time above 7% since Jan 2025; +0.54 points in 13 weeks
Freddie Mac's weekly survey put the 30-year fixed rate at 7.03% (6.95% a week earlier) and the 15-year at 6.42%, as the 10-year Treasury yield rose above 5.1%, its highest since 2007.
Why it matters. Borrowing to buy a home now costs more than 7% a year in the US, which squeezes buyers and can pull house prices down.

US 30-year mortgage rate hits 7.50% on 28 Sep (Mortgage News Daily), first since Apr 2024; ~6.4% a year ago
Mortgage News Daily's average 30-year fixed rate reached 7.50% on 28 Sep, up from 7.03% in Freddie Mac's 24 Sep survey and about 6.4% a year earlier, as Treasury yields rose. In Sweden SBAB raised 1-10 year fixed mortgage rates 0.10-0.20 points on 29 Sep, citing higher long market rates.
Why it matters. Home loans in the US are now the most expensive in over two years, and Swedish fixed-rate loans are rising too, as higher long-term interest rates pass straight to households.
Next. Freddie Mac's weekly mortgage survey on 1 October and US house-price data will show whether buyers pull back.
US 30-year mortgage rate 7.28% on 1 Oct (Freddie Mac), +25 bp in a week, +0.85 pts in 13 weeks; highest since Oct 2023
Freddie Mac's weekly survey put the 30-year fixed rate at 7.28% on 1 October, up from 7.03% a week earlier and 6.34% a year ago; the 15-year rose to 6.60%. WSJ calls it the largest weekly gain in four years; listing price cuts are at a four-year high.
Why it matters. Home-loan costs in the US have jumped by almost a percentage point in three months as government bond yields hit 24-year highs; that squeezes buyers now and tends to push house prices down.
Next. US payrolls on Friday 2 October and the next weekly mortgage survey on 8 October.
