Prospective homebuyers are facing higher costs to finance a home with the average long-term U.S. mortgage rate moving above 7% this week to its highest level in nearly five months. The average rate on a 30-year mortgage rose to 7.1% from 6.88% last week, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday. When mortgage rates rise, they can add hundreds of dollars a month in costs for borrowers, limiting how much they can afford at a time when the U.S. housing market remains constrained by relatively few homes for sale and rising home prices.

Oil prices (BZ=F, CL=F) have slid down about 3% this week as some of the tension in the Middle East has eased after escalations as Iran targeted Israeli military bases. Oil production seems to remain continuous as none of the recent attacks have touched production facilities. Will this decrease last or could prices go back up to all-time highs? Path Trading Partners Co-Founder Bob Iaccino joins Yahoo Finance to discuss the potential for oil prices to spike and what would bring about those price increases, including recent geopolitical tensions. Iaccino affirms: "You're talking about geopolitics to get $200 a barrel. That's what gets these surprise shocks and sustainable shocks, depending on the assessed damage... We're talking about a military strike that disrupts supply. Then that would get us somewhere near that one hundred dollars and possibly exceeding its, depending on what that disruption would be..."

According to the National Association of Realtors, the number of homes for sale rose 4.7% in March from February to 1.11 million. However, the number of homes sold fell 4.3% from the prior month. With mortgage rates nearing 7%, inventory and pricing remain a key issue for home buyers. HousingWire Lead Analyst Logan Mohtashami joins Yahoo Finance to discuss the housing market, mortgage rates, and how the recent numbers impact the market. Mohtashami lays out one of the top considerations for the housing market: "Pricing is the thing that shocked everybody, but keep it simple. We are near record lows in inventory, and home sales aren't crashing anymore. 2022 was very abnormal. We had the biggest home sale crash ever recorded in history, and then that kind of stopped after November of 2022. It's basically an equilibrium fight right now. The higher rates go, the weakness in pricing can continue. If rates fall back down with inventory this low, pricing gets better." Watch the video above to hear why Mohtashami thinks getting mortgage rates down to 6% and staying there will be key to a housing market recovery.
