If you've been scrolling listings at midnight, doing mental math on mortgage calculators, and wondering, “Wait…how is anyone actually buying a house right now?” you are not alone.My guest today is Alex Gailey, personal finance reporter at Bankrate, and she's been digging into the numbers behind America's housing affordability crisis. Her reporting found something jaw-dropping: the typical U.S. household can't afford three-quarters of the homes currently on the market. In this conversation, we're going to break down what's driving the affordability squeeze — from the “lock-in effect” of homeowners clinging to 3% mortgages, to the widening gap between incomes and housing costs, to the new reality that many buyers are spending closer to 40%+ of their income just to make the monthly payment work.Alex also shares where in the country buyers still have a real shot, what she's hearing from successful first-time buyers about the real keys to getting in (hint: flexibility, patience, and boundaries), and why renting can be a smart wealth-building move when buying would make you house-poor.Plus: we talk about the rise of unconventional paths to homeownership — buying with friends or family, “house hacking,” down payment help — and what all of this signals about the future of the American Dream, especially for millennials and Gen Z.

Last week, President Donald Trump announced a pair of actions to address rising homeownership costs. On January 8, the president directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — government-sponsored mortgage-finance companies — to buy $200 billion in mortgage bonds to bring down mortgage rates. On January 7, Trump said he was “taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes” and would ask Congress to codify those rules. The president said he will share more details about his housing affordability plans in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, next week.

A $200 billion plan tied to mortgage rates just made headlines, and it's coming from Donald Trump. The idea is that by buying mortgage bonds, borrowing costs could come down without cutting rates directly through the Federal Reserve. It sounds promising, but how does it actually work, and what does it really change for everyday people?In this episode, I break down the mechanics behind mortgage bonds, the role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and why government money flowing into these markets can influence mortgage rates. We also talk about the early market reaction, including recent rate movement and a spike in refinance activity, and where things are still unclear.This episode isn't about politics. It's about understanding the system so you can make better decisions around buying, refinancing, or waiting. If you're watching the market and trying to figure out your next move, this conversation gives you the context most headlines leave out.Thank you for listening, and as always… enjoy your first sip.Watch the full episode on YouTube

The conversation delves into the current state of the housing market, focusing on the role of institutional investors, the political implications of housing policies, and the potential impact of refinancing trends and interest rates. The hosts discuss how institutional ownership affects local markets, the legislative responses to these dynamics, and the future of interest rates and mortgage products, including the viability of 50-year mortgages. They conclude with a cautious optimism about the market's direction and the need for careful consideration of policies affecting housing.Chapters:Introduction and Market Overview- 00:43Jason Gaunt introduces the show and provides a brief market update.Institutional Ownership and Legislation- 02:26Discussion on the impact of institutional ownership in the housing market and proposed legislation in Nevada.Political Influence on Market Trends- 06:31Exploration of how political decisions affect housing market trends.Interest Rates and Housing Affordability- 14:18Analysis of the role of interest rates in housing affordability and market dynamics.• 5.

A major political headline sent shockwaves through housing markets this week after President Donald Trump said he plans to ban large institutional investors from buying additional single-family homes. The proposal, framed as a move to restore housing affordability, immediately hit single-family rental stocks — but would it actually help buyers? In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, host Kathy Fettke breaks down how markets reacted, what the data really shows about investor activity, and why many experts argue a ban could backfire by limiting new construction and rental supply. Using insights from Redfin, HousingWire, and National Association of Home Builders, this episode separates political rhetoric from housing reality — and explains what investors, renters, and homebuyers should actually be watching next.

Housing affordability is under pressure, and the introduction of a 50-year mortgage has been floated as a solution. In this episode, we sit down for an honest, nuanced conversation about whether this product is a smart financial tool or a long-term trap.We break down how extended amortization can lower monthly payments and potentially open the door to homeownership for buyers currently priced out of the market. At the same time, we dig into the real risks: slower equity growth, higher exposure to market shifts, and the temptation to simply buy more houses instead of building financial margin.We also explore the psychology behind homeownership, why most people push their limits, and how financial education—or the lack of it—shapes outcomes. A major focus is the responsibility real estate and mortgage professionals carry when guiding buyers through decisions with decades-long consequences.The takeaway is simple: a 50-year mortgage isn't inherently good or bad. Like any financial tool, its impact depends on how well it's understood and how intentionally it's used.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyFollow The Color of Money on InstagramBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Recorded live at the 2025 MBA Annual in Las Vegas, this special episode of Market Pulse explores how down payment assistance programs can help unlock homeownership amid today's affordability challenges. Joel Rickman of Equifax sits down with Rob Chrane, Founder and CEO of Down Payment Resource, to discuss how lenders, real estate professionals, and technology can better connect buyers to thousands of available programs—and why awareness, education, and alignment are key to getting more families into homes.In this episode:What is down payment assistance, and how does it help homebuyers?Down payment assistance (DPA) includes grants, forgivable loans, and other programs that help cover down payments and closing costs. These programs can significantly reduce upfront cash requirements and make homeownership more accessible—especially for first-time buyers and middle-income households.How many down payment assistance programs exist today?According to Down Payment Resource's latest Homeownership Program Index, there are more than 2,600 active homeownership assistance programs nationwide, administered by over 1,300 state, local, and nonprofit organizations.Who qualifies for down payment assistance programs?Eligibility varies by program, but many programs serve more than just low-income buyers. Some programs:Have no household income limitsSupport middle-income and “missing middle” buyersApply to manufactured homes and multifamily (2–4 unit) propertiesAre available nationally or in high-cost housing marketsWhy don't more buyers use down payment assistance?The biggest barrier isn't funding—it's awareness. Many buyers (and even industry professionals) don't know these programs exist. Fragmentation, lack of standardization, and fear of complexity have historically limited adoption.How do lenders and loan officers use Down Payment Resource?Down Payment Resource provides tools that:Match borrowers and properties with eligible assistance programsIntegrate with loan origination systems (LOS)Surface vetted programs automatically during the lending processHelp lenders educate borrowers without adding operational burden

If you've ever thought the housing market is a circus, you're absolutely right – and Eric G and John Dudley are here to be your ringmasters. In this lively discussion, they tackle the pressing issue of affordable housing with a blend of sarcasm and insight that keeps you wondering whether to laugh or cry. They kick things off by exploring how we've managed to turn the American Dream into a nightmare where buying a home feels about as likely as spotting Bigfoot. With the average starter home growing from a paltry 983 square feet in 1950 to a whopping 2,500 square feet today, it's hard not to shake your head at our collective obsession with bigger is better. The hosts point out the nonsensical regulations that plague potential homeowners, from sky-high permit fees that feel like a fine for wanting to renovate your bathroom, to zoning laws that seem to have been written by someone who's never stepped foot in a neighborhood. They capture the sheer frustration of home improvement enthusiasts who just want to make their living spaces better – but instead, end up feeling like they're trying to navigate a minefield of bureaucratic nonsense. And let's not even get started on the absurdity of needing to plant trees just to remodel your kitchen! But don't worry, they haven't lost all hope. Eric and John lay out some practical solutions, suggesting we look at vacant commercial spaces as a viable option for affordable housing. Imagine turning that empty office building into a thriving community of affordable apartments! It's a win-win situation that could help address the housing crisis while utilizing existing structures. They challenge listeners to think critically about the real issues at play and inspire a grassroots movement to demand change. After all, if we don't start prioritizing affordable housing now, we might end up with a future where everyone is living in tiny homes – and not the cute ones, but the ones made out of shipping containers!Takeaways:The absurd rise in average house sizes from 983 square feet in 1950 to nearly 2500 square feet today is a key factor in the affordable housing crisis.Eric and John highlight the ridiculousness of needing a permit for a kitchen remodel to plant trees, exposing the absurdity of bureaucratic red tape.They explore how local government policies and urban growth boundaries are artificially inflating land prices, making homes unaffordable for many.The conversation points out that innovative housing solutions, such as converting empty office spaces into livable units, could greatly alleviate housing shortages.A major concern is the lack of trades training in schools, which leaves a gap in skilled labor and exacerbates the housing construction problem.The duo sarcastically critiques the excessive development fees and insane permit costs that contribute to skyrocketing housing prices, showcasing the need for reform.Links referenced in this episode:aroundthehouseonline.comamazon.comhomedepot.comCompanies...

Senior principal economist Molly Boesel of Cotality breaks down the current housing market, including high home prices, large down payment requirements, and why homeownership feels out of reach for many millennials and young adults. The discussion covers low housing supply, rising rents, competition from investors, and the lack of entry level housing options. Boesel also explains new research showing that when people give up on the idea of owning a home, it can change how they save, spend, work, and invest, with long term financial and behavioral consequences.

Hour 3 opens with senior principal economist Molly Boesel of Cotality, who breaks down why giving up on homeownership can change how people save, spend, and invest. The discussion covers high home prices, large down payments, rising interest rates, low entry-level housing supply, high rents, and how today's housing costs have outpaced income growth, especially for younger buyers. The hour also explores the psychological impact of believing homeownership is out of reach and why home equity remains a key wealth builder in the U.S. The conversation then shifts to live music and tribute bands, including the renewed interest sparked by the film Song Sung Blue, followed by an interview with David Jacobson, creator and lead singer of Neil Forever. Jacobson talks about building a 14-piece Neil Diamond tribute, its family roots, audience response, connections to Parkinson's charities, and why Neil Diamond's music continues to resonate across generations.

The full show features former U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams breaking down a severe flu season, vaccine effectiveness, weather myths, and public health skepticism. Sports conversation follows with Joe Roderick covering the Blues loss to the Sabres, the Cardinals offseason, NFL playoff contenders, and Mizzou's Gator Bowl loss. Senior principal economist Molly Boesel of Cotality explains why high home prices, large down payments, rising interest rates, and low supply are reshaping homeownership and changing saving and spending behavior. The show also includes discussion of the Missouri Supreme Court removing Matthew Thornhil for inappropriate courtroom conduct, plus an interview with David Jacobson about his Neil Diamond tribute Neil Forever, the resurgence of tribute bands, and why live music continues to connect across generations.

With affordability at record lows, new mortgage ideas are surfacing to "fix" the housing market, but not all solutions make sense. In this solo episode, Ron Phillips breaks down the proposed 40- and 50-year mortgage options and explains how they might impact buyers, investors, and the broader economy. He compares payment savings versus long-term costs, exposes why extended loans could worsen inflation and supply issues, and shares his preferred alternative: a hybrid interest-only model that offers flexibility without trapping buyers in decades of debt.

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com plunges listeners into a fast-moving, razor-sharp conversation about the future of AI, healthcare, education, and mental health. John Rush and guest Steve House unravel the myths and realities of artificial intelligence—asking whether we're facing a technological revolution or sleepwalking into unforeseen danger. Will AI become the greatest diagnostic tool in medical history, spotting disease earlier and cheaper than ever? Or will Big Pharma fight to keep control of the system AI threatens to expose? The hour also challenges America's failing education model. If AI can tailor learning to every student, why are we still trapped in a one-size-fits-all system designed for averages, not excellence? And what happens when deepfakes become indistinguishable from reality, or when AI avatars blur emotional and spiritual boundaries? John and Steve then tackle the more profound cultural questions: Why is European bread easier on the body than ours? Are we unintentionally creating a nation dependent on chronic disease? Has our mental health crisis worsened by constantly digging up the past instead of building a stronger future? Hour 1 mixes innovation, caution, and big-picture thinking—inviting listeners to ask: Are we ready for the world AI is about to create? HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason dives into one of the most misrepresented narratives in America: Are young people truly priced out of the housing market, or have expectations changed more than reality? With no guests this hour, John Rush takes calls, challenges the headlines, and breaks down why so many millennials believe homeownership is impossible—while others their age are quietly making it happen. Should a first-time buyer expect 2,400 square feet, designer finishes, and two new cars in the driveway? Or is the real path to wealth still found in sacrifice, fixer-uppers, and sweat equity? John dismantles the "can't afford a home" storyline by exposing the role of lifestyle inflation, comparison culture, and social media. He also reveals how Trump's newly lowered CAFE standards could immediately reduce the cost of new vehicles—something critics refuse to acknowledge. The hour ends with a look at Colorado's construction-defect law and its unintended consequence: wiping out starter condos that once made owning a home far more attainable. Hour 2 challenges everything you think you know about affordability, expectations, and building a life you can actually afford. HOUR 3 Hour 3 explodes with energy as John Rush and Jerzee Joe (https://www.youtube.com/@jerzeejoe3145) open with sharp cultural commentary, outrageous news stories, and a hard look at how the erosion of family structure is impacting crime, discipline, and society. Why are celebrities saying bizarre things? Why are harmless gun-range photos turning into arrests overseas? And what happens when statistics on fatherlessness collide with uncomfortable political truths? Then the hour pivots into a powerful economic deep dive with Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capitol (https://x.com/CScottGarliss), who reveals what the Federal Reserve may do next—and how a single decision could ignite or stall the entire U.S. economy. Will the Fed begin cutting rates? Could mortgage portability reshape home ownership? And is the housing market one bold policy away from roaring back to life? From government overreach to Fed strategy, from climate hysteria to bank stability, Hour 3 is packed with provocative questions, sharp analysis, and insights you won't hear anywhere else.

Grant Cardone, CEO of Cardone Capital and bestselling entrepreneur, joins The Steve Gruber Show to tackle one of the biggest issues on Americans' minds: housing affordability. From the challenges of 50-year mortgages to practical solutions for making homes more accessible, Grant shares his perspective on what can truly help the economy and fix the affordability problem. The conversation covers strategies for both buyers and policymakers, emphasizing real-world approaches to increasing access, boosting investment, and creating sustainable housing opportunities. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or just following the housing market, this discussion offers actionable insights and bold ideas from one of the nation's leading real estate experts

Join me for a one-on-one conversation with Mayor-Elect Jayden Williams, recently elected as the youngest mayor in Stockbridge's history and a rising voice in next-generation leadership.

The median age of all homebuyers is a record-breaking 59. First-time homebuyers average age 40, up from 29 in 1981. This is the result of not building enough houses and allowing too many people in our country, both legally and illegally.    We need big solutions to solve big problems. Some are calling for a Marshal Plan for housing. Many ideas are being floated to improve housing affordability.    50-year mortgages are a particularly bad idea for many reasons. The one positive would be lower monthly payments than a 30-year mortgage. But interest rates would likely be higher on a 50-year mortgage than a 30-year; similar to 15-year mortgage interest rates are typically lower than 30-year. This would eliminate most of the benefit of lower payments.   The American dream includes owning your own home, not renting an apartment.   This is a supply problem. Solutions: 1. There needs to be incentives to build affordable single-family homes.  2. Permit and infrastructure fees average 24% of the cost of the average home.  3. Deport illegal immigrants and fraudulent legal immigrants.   HB-1 visas are supposed to be for the rare "genius". No one would have an issue if a few HB-1 visas were needed to train Americans to build high-end computer chips. The reality is that HB-1 visas are currently about 750,000. About 80% take entry-level and junior-level jobs from Americans.   Some work visas do not require the company to pay payroll taxes. The foreign worker's job is typically tied to their job. If they lose their job, they have to go back home. This gives the company control over the employee. The company saves taxes, can pay the foreign employee less, and has more control. It is a form of indentured servitude.    The US Census counts illegals and the 55 million visa holders. This gives more seats in the House of Representatives and Electoral College votes. The majority of illegal immigrants and visa holders live in blue states. It is about political power.   Fewer people in the US would prefer the quickest method to increase affordability.

Young Americans pushed out of the job and housing market because of immigration? Democrats can't run hoaxes anymore, not even Epstein ones? The GOP actually won a shutdown battle.

Affordability has become a major theme of 2025 and of all the areas where technology has sped up processes and brought down costs, housing has been a stubborn exception. One company that is trying to bring a new technology-based approach to this is BOXABL, and it has partnered with a SPAC to accelerate that vision. This week, we speak with Galiano Taramani, founder and co-CEO of BOXABL and Larry Swets Jr., CEO of FG Merger Corp. II (NASDAQ:FGMC). The two announced a $3.5 billion combination in August. Galiano explains how BOXABL has found an edge in how it ships its modular homes and how it hopes to eventually manufacture them at a rate of one house per minute. Larry explains how BOXABL's unique crowdfunding path gives FG Merger II confidence in the company's journey after listing and how adding financial services angles to its platform could potentially take it to the next level.  

David devotes this week's Capital Record to the folly of the “game-changing” idea of a 50-year mortgage. He stands within first principles by allowing risk takers to freely transact, but points out the economic reality of how people who believe they get a cheaper house by paying for it over an extra 20 years are, well, wrong.
