Welcome back, Dreammakers, to Today in Mortgages! In this episode, hosts Michael and Richard talk about if we are in a housing emergency. Todays article is from Newsweek: "Trump may declare national housing emergency -- but what is it?" We want to answer that question. First, Trump loves declaring a national emergency because it gives him executive powers, instead of going through congress. Second, the housing problem is that we are 4.7 million homes short of demand. Where are those housing going to be built? Further out of town in less desirable areas is not always the solution. They will likely have to pressure states to ease regulations to get more homes built.We are in a housing shortage, but at the same time there is a glut of new homes sitting on the market. This is mainly due to homes listed at too high prices. Cost of housing has far surpassed income growth. Honestly, we aren't sure how the government can solve this problem. We need lower interest rates for sure, and could there be a correction to the appreciation the last few years by pricing dropping?
