The Trump administration is considering a bold proposal for 50-year mortgages, which aims to help homebuyers manage monthly payments in a challenging housing market. Advocates liken this plan to the introduction of the 30-year mortgage during the Great Depression, suggesting it could make homes more affordable for the younger generation. However, critics warn that it may come with significant long-term costs, potentially doubling interest payments and prolonging debt for buyers. While the housing director has confirmed that the administration is actively working on this option, the proposal has sparked skepticism and debate among real estate experts and political commentators alike.
