The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 7.373%, surpassing 7% for the first time since January 2025, according to Freddie Mac. The increase follows a Federal Reserve decision to raise interest rates, adding pressure to a housing market already strained by high prices and stagnant wages.

Each outlet is read blind: a classifier sees its headline and opening next to the story's own headline, without the outlet's name, and scores how the report presents the story. A logo sits at the classifier's average reading, so it can fall between two levels. These readings compare coverage of this story only; they are not ratings of the outlets.
