  • Buying a median-priced U.S. home would raise typical mortgage holders’ monthly principal-and-interest payments by 85.3%, according to a Nov. 11, 2026 report.
  • Estimated monthly payments would reach $2,468 versus $1,332 currently, assuming a 7.32% mortgage rate.
  • In roughly one-third of the 100 largest metropolitan areas, buying would more than double existing mortgage holders’ monthly payments.
