Mortgage Rates Rise Amid Elevated Inflation

The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.41% in May 2026, up 7 basis points from April and 36 basis points since the Middle East conflict began, while the 15-year rate averaged 5.76%, also up 7 basis points monthly as elevated inflation and rising energy prices pushed the 10-year Treasury yield to 4.47%. Persistently high inflation strained household budgets, causing the personal saving rate to fall to 2.6% in April, the lowest level since June 2022.

Construction Job Openings

Construction job openings in the United States increased slightly from 234,000 in March to 259,000 in April 2026, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, with the construction job openings rate rising to 3% in April from 2.4% a year prior. The article notes that while overall economy job openings surged to 7.62 million in April, construction openings remain measurably lower than three years ago due to declines in housing construction activity, though recent nonresidential construction gains have provided some offset.

HBGI Q1 2026: Single-Family Construction Declines

Single-family construction declined across all geographies in Q1 2026, with large metro core counties experiencing the sharpest pullback of 16.0% year-over-year, driven by elevated interest rates, rising material costs, and labor shortages, while multifamily construction expanded in most markets with large metro core counties leading at 20.8% growth. The data reflects a decade-long structural shift away from dense population centers toward smaller and outlying markets in single-family construction, while multifamily construction has recently begun regaining share in large metro core counties after a period of migration to smaller markets.
