Mortgage rates rose again as markets continue to manage the prospect of more aggressive monetary policy due to elevated inflation. Not only are mortgage rates rising but the dispersion of rates has increased, suggesting that borrowers can meaningfully benefit from shopping around for a better rate. Our research indicates that borrowers could save an average of $1,500 over the life of a loan by getting one additional rate quote and an average of about $3,000 if they get five quotes.

At the same time, new home construction has decreased as builders become warier of falling demand — and rent prices have continued to increase.
