Listen "Could a 50 Year Mortgage Make Homes Affordable Again? (No, but let’s talk about it) | Ep. 142"
Episode Synopsis
People are talking about this new idea for a 50 Year Mortgage. Lower payments, easier entry and a chance to finally grab the home you’ve been staring at for years... at least that’s how it’s being sold.In this week’s episode of the First Sip Podcast, I’m breaking down what a 50 year mortgage really means for buyers today. It sounds like a shortcut in a market where rates are high, prices are annoying, and inventory is non-existent. But once you look at the long term cost, the impact on interest payments, and how this doesn’t fix the real issue of not enough homes being built, the picture changes fast. This episode goes into the math, the policy talk and the reality behind why affordability feels like it keeps slipping further away.What we’re talking about this week:How a fifty year mortgage lowers the monthly payment in the short termThe massive long term interest cost most people never calculateWhy the real problem is still inventory shortages and zoning roadblocksHow policy conversations distract from the need for more buildingWhat first time buyers should think about before jumping at lower paymentsIf you’ve ever wondered whether these plans help regular buyers or just shift the pressure around, this episode will give you the clarity you need to think long term, not just month to month.Thank you for listening and as always...enjoy your first sip!☕️What did you think about this episode?--------------------------------🏡 Ready to take the next steps towards your future home?
