3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Aug 5

The average US 30-year mortgage contract rate rose 5 basis points to 6.81% in the week ended July 31, reaching its highest level in a year.

The latest rise adds financing pressure for homebuyers, suggesting higher rates are continuing to restrain mortgage activity and broader housing momentum.
