Mortgage rates fell after rising for two straight weeks, another indication that recession concerns are impacting the U.S. housing market.

The average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 5.3%, mortgage-finance giant Freddie Mac said Thursday. That is down from 5.54% last week and below the 13-year high of 5.81% recorded in June. At the beginning of the year, rates on America’s most common home loan hovered around 3.2%.

The 5.3% rate was recorded before the Federal Reserve’s announcement Wednesday that it would raise its benchmark rate by 0.75 percentage point. While mortgage rates don’t automatically move when the Fed raises rates, they are heavily influenced by it. Mortgage rates are tied closely to the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield, which tends to move in tandem with expectations for the Fed’s benchmark rate.

Over the past week, investors have piled into U.S. Treasurys, often seen as a haven during times of economic uncertainty. This week, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury fell to its lowest level since April. Yields fall when prices rise.

The U.S. economy shrank for the second quarter in a row, the Commerce Department said Thursday. Gross domestic product from residential investment, including the construction of single and multifamily homes and remodeling, fell 14%. This category accounts for between 3% and 5% of GDP, according to the National Association of Home Builders.

“Housing tends to lead the rest of the economy, and we expect that pattern will hold this cycle as well,” said Mike Fratantoni, chief economist at the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Rising mortgage rates and continued double-digit price growth have made buying a home even less affordable, slowing the housing market in recent months. The median American household needed $2,398 to cover mortgage payments on a median-priced home in May, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. That is a 25% increase from $1,916 in January.

Sales of existing homes have fallen for five straight months, according to the National Association of Realtors.

“We expect that this slower pace will remain through the summer, but buyers could return later this year if the Fed’s plans are better understood by the market and lead to less rate volatility,” Mr. Fratantoni said.

Conan O’Brien and his wife, Liza Powel O’Brien, are selling their beach property in Carpinteria, CA, according to the website Dirt.

They’re asking for $16.5 million for the two-building compound located about 1.5 hours north of Los Angeles.

The couple picked up the seriously nice spread in 2015 for $7.9 million and remodeled it “down to the studs,” the listing notes. The extensive work they did likely explains the hefty markup.

The beachside main home was built in 1957 and measures 2,142 square feet. It comes with 50 feet of beach frontage and newly redone interiors, including a great room with white oak flooring, a fireplace, and glass doors that open to a spacious deck.

The spacious deck features a built-in barbecue, seating area, and dining space. There are stairs that go to the sand.

Below the main house, there’s a room that can be used as a playroom or a gym. It includes a large-screen TV, laundry room, changing room with a shower, and surfboard or paddleboard storage.

A detached guesthouse has two separate sleeping options: A one-bedroom with a wraparound deck is located above the two-car garage, and a lower-level, one-bedroom guest suite features garden views.

A four-car garage with a Tesla charging station completes the property. The half-acre grounds boast tropical landscaping as well as abundant off-street parking.

Conan, a Harvard grad, got his start writing for “The Simpsons” and “Saturday Night Live.” He then landed his own talk show, “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” on NBC in 1993. After an infamous and short run as the “Tonight Show” host, he moved to TBS with “Conan,” which ended in 2021.

Recently, he launched the “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” podcast in addition to other shows on his Team Coco podcast network.

This spring, Sirius XM bought the podcast and his digital media business for a reported $150 million.
