Trump's Proposed Overhaul of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac: What It Means for Homebuyers
- President Donald Trump recently proposed changes to the operations of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are government enterprises involved in about 70% of U.S. mortgages.
- This proposal follows their 2008 government bailout caused by years of high-risk lending and a major housing crisis.
- According to Steven Glick from Home Abroad's mortgage sales team, while proposed changes may create temporary difficulties for those purchasing homes, they have the potential to reduce costs for taxpayers if managed properly.
- Senator Schumer warned that privatizing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could threaten middle-class financial security by making home buying harder and more expensive, as they finance 70% of American mortgages.
- Trump plans to take the enterprises public while maintaining government guarantees, but experts agree the details of these changes will critically affect homebuyers and the mortgage market.
