Trump says he wants government to buy $200 billion in mortgage bonds in a push to bring down mortgage rates Open in Cbsnews.com
Highlights
  • The plan uses Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to back purchases, leveraging their role as major mortgage buyers rather than lenders.
  • Most forecasts suggest the move could shave between 0.25 and 0.5 percentage points off mortgage rates, potentially easing borrowing costs for home buyers.
  • Lower mortgage rates could boost buyer demand and push home prices higher if supply stays tight, raising affordability concerns in hot markets.
