Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates increased this week, reaching their highest level in nearly three years. The benchmark 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose to 7.28% from 7.03% last week, according to mortgage buyer Freddie Mac. This marks the sixth consecutive week of increases, and the average rate is now the highest it has been since November 2023.
