Mortgage rates have risen significantly, hitting the highest level since July 2025, as reported by Freddie Mac on Thursday.

This increase in rates can be traced back to the beginning of the conflict between the U.S. and Iran, which began earlier this year.

The rise in mortgage rates could impact homebuyers and the housing market more broadly.

Freddie Mac's report highlights the ongoing trend of increasing mortgage costs for potential homebuyers.
