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.

Mortgage Rates Ease Some, Demand Remains Weak

Mortgage Rates Ease Some, Demand Remains Weak

Mortgage rates in the U.S. slipped this week from a nine-month peak, but the lower rates didn't drive a big jump in demand. The spring housing market remains stuck, with cheaper homes on offer but borrowing costs still keeping plenty of buyers out. 30-year fixed-rate mortgage drops to 6.48% from 6.53%, Freddie Mac reported June 4. Last year at this time, the average was 6.85%. “Affordability is marginally improving," said Freddie Mac Chief Economist Sam Khater. He pointed to rates holding in the mid-6% range and income gains running ahead of home prices.

Mortgage Rates Drop but Homebuyers Stay on Sidelines

Mortgage Rates Drop but Homebuyers Stay on Sidelines

U.S. mortgage rates dropped from a nine-month high this week. The dip hasn’t sparked much buyer activity, though, so the spring market has slightly lower rates but demand remains slow. Mortgage rates dipped again this week, Freddie Mac said Thursday. The average 30-year fixed mortgage is now at 6.48%, down from 6.53%. The 15-year fixed rate slid to 5.79% after hitting 5.87% last week. “With mortgage rates in the mid-6% range and income growth outpacing home price growth, housing affordability is marginally improving,” said Sam Khater, chief economist at Freddie Mac.

Healthpeak Drops the Ball—What’s Next for Investors

Healthpeak Drops the Ball—What’s Next for Investors

Healthpeak Properties ended last week lower, falling 1.85% to $19.15 on Friday. Volume was heavier than normal for the healthcare REIT, with the drop following just days after a 52-week high. S&P 500 and Dow both finished Friday up, which set Healthpeak’s decline apart from a broader sector move. U.S. cash equity markets are shut for the weekend, and last Monday was closed for Memorial Day, so traders only had four days of action to work through. The New York Stock Exchange’s website lists Memorial Day, May 25, as a market holiday in 2026.
