Summary
Mortgage rates remain above 6%, home prices are still high and many homeowners are locked into ultra-low rates from the pandemic era. In the second installment of Votes and Verdicts’ three-part housing affordability miniseries, Bloomberg Intelligence editor Michael Sasso speaks with Erica Adelberg, BI senior mortgage-backed securities analyst, and Phillip Millman, founder of Bell Boulevard Consulting and a former Federal Housing Finance Agency executive. They discuss why mortgage rates have been so slow to fall, whether Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s bond purchases can move the needle, the limits of portable mortgages and 50-year loans, and why the bigger affordability challenge may be America’s shortage of housing supply.
