Trump’s $200B Mortgage Bond Move, Powell Probe & 10% Credit Card Cap — 2026 Housing Outlook

Описание: Is 2026 shaping up for lower mortgage rates… or major unintended consequences?

In this episode, I break down the biggest policy moves and market signals shaping the next housing cycle — from the Trump administration’s proposed $200B purchase of mortgage-backed securities to the investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell, new ideas around using 401(k) and 529 funds for homebuying, and the controversial push to cap credit card interest rates at 10%.

I explore how these moves could impact mortgage rates, affordability, inventory, consumer spending, and economic growth — and why markets are already pricing in volatility, opportunity, and risk.

🧠 Topics We Cover:
Trump’s $200B mortgage bond (MBS) plan and its impact on rates
How this compares to COVID-era quantitative easing
