The latest collaboration between the DevHub and the San Francisco Chronicle delves into mortgage rates. The team visualized the "lock-in effect" on housing markets using data from the Federal Housing Finance Agency. The “lock-in effect” is a phenomenon where home buyers flooded the market in the early pandemic when mortgage rates hit record lows. However, with rates now twice as high, many homeowners are left stuck, resulting in fewer houses on the market. Credits: Reporting by Christian Leonard. Graphics and development by Janie Haseman / Hearst DevHub. Editing by Dan Kopf and Danielle Rindler.
