He does not understand that Powell needs to spite Trump, that’s more important than the housing industry

From a very local standpoint:
I’d love for them to lower so I could look at refinancing and saving some $.
But on the other hand, lower interest rates saw a ton of FHA loans getting handed out and nice neighborhoods getting watered down.
Maybe with the FICO crackdown we can avoid that.

Yeah what a terrible idea to have someone from the housing world run FHFA

Have to consider that it is at least POSSIBLE that Trump 'crushed' (and I wouldn't use that strong as an adjective) inflation because (partially!) Powell didn't raise rates.
I understand the motive behind wanting rates lower... and it is OBBB related because it would have changed the growth used by the CBO to GUESSTIMATE deficit spending as it relates to the 3.2 trillion in tax cuts counted as spending....
... however, there is the law of unintended consequences.

This is like wanting someone from McDonald's or Taco Bell to run Health and Human Services.

As usual you are the dumbest in the room

Won't lowering interest rates just cause home prices to increase?
The only time prices have come down is when rates went up.
Can someone explain how the housing market would benefit from lower rates?

More houses built equals more competition for buyers. That equates to lower prices (potentially).

obvious answer - thanks.
We hear about the housing shortage so often that I wonder how much new housing stock would have to be built to impact the market in that way.

The historical average for a 30-year fixed mortgage rate in the United States, since 1971, is around 7.71%. As of May 22, 2025, the average 30-year fixed rate was 6.86%. This is lower than the long-term average, which was also 7.71%.
The fed funds rate historically is around 4-5%, not sure what dropping the fed funds interest rate below historical average is going to accomplish outside of encouraging reckless leveraging/borrowing.......again!!!!
Fed funds rate by year

Yeah the fed fund rate at 3.5-3.6 will cause that
Maybe that 30tril in debt that needs to be refied would be an accomplishment
