buy $200 BILLION in mortgage bonds, which is set to immediately lower mortgage rates.
The 10 year treasury bond yield is actually higher this morning.
The market is unconvinced that the Fannie/Freddie buy bonds gambit will lower rates.

I wonder what the effects of this will be when paired with shutting private equity firms out of the single family housing market?
I don’t see how it could be bad, but I’m not a real estate guy.

Or how about close Federal Gov institutions in the mortgage business. That’s not the governments jobs and pay the $200B toward the deficit or give back to the taxpayers it was stolen from.

lowering interest rates will not lower prices of homes. it will make them jump up. the purpose of a 30yr mortgage is to ride the waive of values going up and down. people are spoiled and only want their house to go up. if we have a temp reduction in value due to high rates. 7-10yrs later values recover and the market is healthy. This what happened in 2008 and needs to happen again.
