Did frustration over rising housing costs influence how you voted in this month's U.S. elections? Looking to interview renters, aspiring homebuyers and homeowners in the U.S. for a story on how housing affordability concerns helped shape how Americans voted. DM or aveiga@ap.org

The average rate on a 30-year mortgage dropped to 6.09% this week, per Freddie Mac. Question for home shoppers: Does this make a difference, or are you holding out for lower rates? Let me know in a DM, pls.


All eyes on the Fed's policy update today. US home shoppers and homeowners looking to sell, are you thinking about holding out for lower mortgage rates or staying in the market? I'm interested in interviewing you today for a story. Please DM me by 3 p.m. ET, if interested.


The average rate on a 30-year mortgage hit the highest level since November this week. If you've been looking to buy a home, but can't afford to do so right now with rates creeping higher, I'd like to interview you today for a story. DM or email me at aveiga@ap.org

The dramatic rise in mortgage rates, combined with high home prices, is cooling the housing market at a pace not seen since the bursting of the housing bubble 17 years ago. Thanks to @FairweatherPhD and @mcasey1 and @_AlexVeiga for their help on this project.

What a doubling of mortgage rates means: "In Seattle... a $2,000-a-month payment last year would have gotten a buyer a modest 1,300-square-foot home. That payment would get them only a 950-square-foot apartment now." By @kensweet @mcasey1 @_AlexVeiga: apnews.com/article/housin…
