,(Bloomberg) -- Mortgage rates in the U.S. jumped above 3% for the first time in three months.
The average for a 30-year loan was 3.01%, up from 2.88% last week and the highest since June 24, Freddie Mac said in a statement Thursday.
Historically low borrowing costs have helped fuel the pandemic housing rally, with a shortage of available homes pushing prices higher as Americans seek larger properties in the suburbs.
If rates continue to tick up, that could help moderate surging prices, according to Sam Khater, chief economist at Freddie Mac.
“We expect mortgage rates to continue to rise modestly which will likely have an impact on home prices, causing them to moderate slightly after increasing over the last year,” Khater said.
