Mortgage Rates Fell. The 6.5% Trap Didn’t.

Mortgage Rates Fell. The 6.5% Trap Didn’t.

U.S. mortgage rates eased from a nine-month high this week, giving homebuyers a small break but leaving borrowing costs near the level that has stalled much of the housing market. Freddie Mac said the average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage — a home loan whose interest rate stays the same for 30 years — fell to 6.48% as of June 4 from 6.53% a week earlier. The move matters because the summer buying season is under way, and even small changes in rates can shift monthly budgets. Freddie Mac Chief Economist Sam Khater said affordability was only “marginally improving,” with mortgage rates still in the mid-6% range, though income growth has been running ahead of home-price growth. The same loan averaged 6.85% a year earlier.

U.S. Mortgage Rates Rise Above 6% Again, Threatening Spring Homebuying Revival

Mortgage rates in the U.S. climbed back over 6% this week, snapping a short-lived drop below that threshold and logging their sharpest weekly jump in nearly a year. Rising oil prices and surging bond yields—spurred by the conflict with Iran—sent the average 30-year fixed rate up to 6.11%, compared with 6.00% just a week ago, according to Freddie Mac on Thursday. This shift landed right when cheaper borrowing was starting to lure buyers off the sidelines for spring. Existing-home sales climbed 1.7% in February, reaching a 4.09 million annual rate. First-time buyers accounted for 34% of deals. Mortgage applications ticked up 3.2% for the week ending March 6—purchase applications jumped 7.8%.

  • Tesla (TSLA) Trades Above Industry Averages as Investors Weigh Valuation and Growth Bets
    June 30, 2026, 11:55 PM EDT. Tesla is trading at $420.60, up 91.3% over five years, but some numbers point to a stretched valuation. Its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio sits at 16.1x, well above the industry's 0.6x and peers at 1.4x. A separate fair value model comes in at 3.5x. Simply Wall St gives Tesla zero on its valuation checks, saying the stock doesn't stack up by earnings, assets, or cash flow. Bulls keep faith in Tesla's AI, robotics, and energy plans, supporting the high price, but there are worries about Full Self Driving and regulatory issues. The big question is whether Tesla's share price already bakes in its ambitious AI and energy goals or if investors have more to price in.
