Description:
High mortgage rates in the US are making homeownership unattainable for many Americans, affecting their economic mobility and life plans. With rates hovering around 7%, affordability has become a major issue, as the median home price reaches a record high of over $400,000. This situation is expected to widen the wealth gap between homeowners and renters, with renters facing a 60% likelihood of never being able to own a home. The high costs have forced some potential buyers to continue renting indefinitely, while others who have purchased homes struggle with strict budgets and the inability to refinance their mortgages.

Consumers cited high prices for food and groceries as having the greatest impact on their views of the economy. Their expectations about average inflation over the next 12 months edged up slightly. The share of consumers expecting higher interest rates over the next year also increased slightly. Views of the current labor market improved as fewer consumers said jobs were hard to get.")
