WASHINGTON — High mortgage rates and rising prices continued to put a damper on the spring homebuying season last month.
The median price of previously occupied homes rose 5.7% to $407,600 — the tenth straight increase and a record for April. The rate on the benchmark 30-year, fixed-rate loan has risen five of the last six weeks and stands at 7.02%, up from 6.39% a year ago. Would-be homebuyers are also deterred by the high prices, caused partly by a tight inventory of available homes.
