Mortgage rates surge as inflation concerns rise

  • The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage increased to 6.52%, while the 15-year fixed-rate mortgage rose to 5.84%.
  • The rise in mortgage rates is linked to inflation and the ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Iran.
  • Higher mortgage rates are affecting home sales and purchasing power, but a recent increase in mortgage applications offers hope for the housing market.
