US mortgage rates jumped for a fourth straight week, reaching the highest point in six months and dampening prospects for the crucial spring season as the Iran war roils markets. The average rate for 30-year, fixed loans climbed to 6.38%, the highest since September 2025 and up from 6.22% last week, according to data from Freddie Mac Thursday. At the current 30-year average, borrowers with a $1 million loan would pay about $6,242 a month, not including insurance and taxes. That is up from $5,983 in late February when rates briefly dipped below 6% right before the US-Israeli bombing campaign began.
