SCARED BUYERS ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Kyle Tomcak was looking for a home for his in-laws in the suburbs around Denver, something priced close to $450,000. Tomcak became dispirited as he lost out to investors fronting cash offers $100,000 over the asking price. Then mortgage rates ballooned, putting his price range out of reach. “All of a sudden, your buying power is less … even though your payments are the same,” he said. Tomcak, 39 and a project manager for a commercial painting company from Aurora, Colorado, had hoped to lock in a monthly mortgage payment of $2,350. His mortgage consultant recommended dropping the maximum price he’d pay for a home, first to $300,000 then to $200,000. Tomcak has abandoned his search for now.. The Federal Reserve has aggressively raised shortterm interest rates to fight inflation, which in turn helps push rates higher for credit cards, auto loans and mortgages. Rising mortgage rates have combined with already high home prices to discourage would-be buyers. Mortgage applications have declined sharply. Sales of previously occupied homes have fallen for five straight months, during what is generally the busiest time of year in real estate.

historical lows. The average mortgage rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage mostly stayed below 4.5% for most of the last decade, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The financial data firm Black Knight estimates that the rise in mortgage rates has increased a typical borrower’s monthly payment by 44% since the beginning of the year. Since the start of the pandemic, the average mortgage payment has doubled to more than $2,100. Most of the pain is being felt at the bottom of the market: the first-time homebuyer, who often has the least amount of money for a THOMAS PEIPERT / ASSOCIATED PRESS down payment and is trying to make the monthly payKyle Tomcak sits in front of his house in Aurora, Colo., on Monday, July 18, 2022. ment work for their budget.

Average long-term US mortgage rates edge up to 5.54% ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Average longterm U.S. mortgage rates ticked up again this week in a rapidly cooling housing market as the Federal Reserve gears up for what could be yet another bump to its benchmark interest rate. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the 30-year rate rose to 5.54%, from 5.51% last week. One year ago the average 30-year rate was 2.78%. The average rate on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages, popular among those refinancing their homes, rose to 4.75%, from 4.67% last week. Last year at this time the rate was 2.12%. Most economists expect the Federal Reserve to jack up its borrowing rate another half-to-threequarters of a point when it meets next week. Fed policymakers have signaled that much higher interest rates ma be needed to reign in stubborn, four-decade high inflation. The central bank already raised its benchmark rate by a half-point in May and another three-quarters of a point last month, the biggest single hike since 1994. Rapidly hiking rates risks tossing the U.S. economy into a recession, but it’s also the Fed’s most powerful tool to get price increases back to its 2% annual target. The Labor Department reported last week that its consumer price index soared 9.1% over the past year, the biggest yearly increase since 1981. Labor’s producer price index — which measures inflation before it reaches consumers — rose by 11.3% in June compared with a year earlier.

$1.1 million in early May. They figured selling the four-bedroom, three-bath house would be “a walk in the park.” The couple had reason to be optimistic. As recently as this spring, it wasn’t unusual for sellers to receive multiple competing offers within hours of listing their home, or for some buyers to agree to pay well above asking price while giving up their right to a home inspection — all to beat out rival bidders. It was very much a sellers’ market. Instead, the Martins have yet to receive a single offer and have lowered their asking price to $899,000. Raymond Martin, 51, noted that shortly before listing his Austin home, a neighbor sold their similar-sized home for $100,000 over the $1 million asking price. The couple are living in a new home in Florida while patiently trying to sell the Austin property. “Clearly, the market’s kind of stalled,” he said. Historically, late spring to early summer is peak home buying season in the U.S., but there are multiple signs that buyers have become discouraged. The number of Americans applying for a mortgage is down significantly from a year ago. Weekly mortgage applications tracked by the Mortgage Bankers Association are down roughly 50% from a year earlier.
