Why
Mortgage rates are elevated due to higher oil prices and expectations of sustained inflation, influenced by the conflict between the U.S. and Iran disrupting crude oil flow.
The Frontline Impact

Increased mortgage rates add hundreds of dollars monthly to borrower costs, thereby reducing purchasing power and making homeownership less accessible for many Americans. The ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Iran is a significant factor in these economic shifts.
