A higher interest rate is only one of the factors, albeit an important one, that keeps the housing market from spiraling out of control, like it did earlier in the decade.

limping, the horse once considered one of the favorites was taken away. A sentence from MGMAT. So I think the example is correct.

Understand the difference
One of the factorS THAT ARE responsible...
Here the use of that is done to refer to factorS and thus we use ARE. because we are talking something that is applicable to all the factorS not any particular factor.

One of the factors responsible for destruction IS xxxx
Here we don't have THAT and we are talking about that one factors out of various factors.

I hope this helps
Thanks
