Thinking about buying or selling this year? A big change may be coming.
The White House and federal housing officials are floating a 50-year fixed mortgage. Spreading payments over 50 years could lower monthly costs and help some buyers qualify, especially with today’s rates. The trade-off: you may pay far more over time and build ownership more slowly, and rates on these loans could be higher. It might even nudge prices up if more buyers enter the market without more homes for sale. Many see it as a short-term fix, not a cure.
