Episode 166: Mortgage Rates, Trump & Housing Affordability | Separating Headlines from Reality
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Mortgage rates don’t move because of politics—they move because of markets, incentives, and supply & demand.
In this episode of the Loans Elevated Podcast, we break down recent headlines surrounding Trump, mortgage-backed securities, and housing affordability, and explain what actually matters beneath the noise.
You’ll learn:
- How mortgage-backed securities influence rates
- Why a $200B MBS purchase is meaningful
- The difference between real demand vs money printing
- Why banning institutional buyers won’t fix affordability
This episode is about thinking clearly, staying objective, and making decisions based on math—not fear.
